Clearly it wont bring bragging rights nor the respect of one's peers.
As far as the battery is concerned, there is nothing special about the car running out of gas, since the car frequently drives with the engine off.
The battery will continue powering the car running (at speeds under 40 MPH and without the need for heavy acceleration) until it needs to be recharged.
Without gas, presumably it will shut down.
I haven't come across anyone in the forums foolish enough to try this stunt, so I can't say for sure what will happen, however.

WTF man what is your problem. Who said that i am trying to have bragging rights? And where did you come out with burning your fuel pump BS...
All I wanted to know what might happen (or did ..) if this happens.
mustang67408 thanks for USEFULL info.
One question to you (not haroldo) , my wife drain the battery once (leaving the car on but not on raedy) and giving a jump to the 12v battery fix the problem. Is that the same kind of draining the battery?
And it is kind of messed up for toyota to not let us know about this big problem we might couse. When I was 20 i run out of gas all the time..
