The acft was on a x-country trip. On previous flts over the same route, 2 refueling stops were made. During this trip, no refueling was accomplished, & while en route, the low fuel warning light came on. The plt declared an emergency & wasvectored & assigned the lowest possible IFR alt. Shortly thereafter, both engines quit. When he enquired about nearby arpts, the plt was told there were none and advised to find a road or suitable area to land. The plt overshot a road after feathering both engines and crashed on an embankment. There was no smell of fuel at the scene of the crash. Both props were in the feathered position.
