- Fill the tank and reset Trip1 odometer
- Drive until the light comes on
- The moment the light comes on, reset Trip2 odometer
- Next time it's convenient, fill the tank and write down number gallons as well as the readings from the two odometers
- Compute your MPG: Trip1 / Gallons
- Compute your remaining fuel when the light comes on: 17.1 - [(Trip1 - Trip2) / MPG]
- Compute your remaining miles when the light comes on: MPG * RemainingFuel
My TSX has 97 miles of gas when the light comes on. So, when I see it come on, I immediately reset Trip2, and drive until I get into the ~80 mile range.
