I stopped and filled up the other day when my low fuel light came on and it only took right at 20 gallons. Is this about right? It seems like it shouldnt come on quite that early. Either way, I dont care, I just want to get a feel for how much farther I can go until I install the driver info buttons. Thanks for any help.

Well, if you have a 26 gallon tank, and you filled up at E and it took 20 gallons, then there's 6 gallons left in the tank.

There's a "reserve" of around 5-7 gallons when it tells you it's empty.

Yeah. General consensus is you have about 6 gallons left when light goes on. Safe to assume 10mpg x 6 = you got 60 miles to find gas before you are bone dry. Tank can hold about 26 gallons.
