I'll assume that the car is a Honda Insight with EPA gas mileage rating of 57mi/gal in the city.

First, we will convert all units into Km and mL:

1 mile = 1.609344 Km

1gal = 3785.411 mL

Then, we will calculate the distance the car can move by multiplying the mileage rating and the the volume available as follows (note that I will be converting units in the same step):

distance = (57mi/gal) x (1.609344 km/1mi) x (1gal/3785.411mL) x 355mL

= 8.6027 Km
