That's a really, really bad idea to let the fluid nearly run out
before refilling. I never let mine get more than a couple of inches
low. If you are ever driving on a dark road late at night in the
middle of nowhere, with 18-wheelers spraying you with dirty water, you
will understand why. If you never leave the city perhaps you can get
away with it.

Normally, with 3,000 mile service, Honda refills mine and I seldom
have to worry about it unless we have a lot of snow and/or rain.
Worrying about how much the washer fluid container held would be about
number 689 on my list of things to be concerned about.
