If the internal combustion engine fails or the Prius runs out of gas, is
it capable of moving at slow speeds to a safe location? If so, about
what kind of range would it have, assuming the battery has an average
level of capacity?

About a mile or two.

I was able to drive about 1 mile at normal in town speeds (30-45) when
I ran out of gas. My level was about 3 bars short of full. After
filling up it started right up with no problems.

Remember: when the last bar starts to blink it means "buy gas right now,
damn it".

If he was 3 bars short of full when he ran out, he was a long way from one
blinking bar. Sounds like a bad gauge to me.
