Forget it.
You shouldn't drink and drive.
Those range estimates are just that. Estimates. It's not 100% accurate. Drive conservatively, pray for all green lights and go straight to the gas station. Or, better yet, pay a friend to deliver $10 worth of gas in a jerry can to you. Unless you have a moonshine distillery in your yard and an E85 capable engine, you will destroy your fuel system putting alcohol in it.
If you run out of gas before you get there, don't keep trying to start your car. You will destroy the electric fuel pump. Never run your car this low on gas again. I've run out of gas twice, once in my '99 Ranger and once in my '79 Catalina. The Ranger has an electric fuel pump, and the low gas light never came on. Now, I put gas in my truck every 270 miles. No exceptions. The Catalina is so old, it has no fuel light. I was tempting fate in the middle of the night and lost (girlfriend got very angry with me on this one). That car it doesn't really matter to run out of gas. It has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine block you can change in an hour or so. Not so for my truck or your Focus. Very expensive and time consuming job not worth a few dollars on gas.
