Gas Light?

Currently, my range is 32 miles, but no "Fuel Low" indication has come on. At what point should that come on? It does by about 60 miles in range on my TSX.

Mine comes on when I have around 20 left on the Range display, but I've tempted fate and driven it 20 miles past Zero before.

Thanks. I'll see what happens at 15 miles to go or so on my drive home tonight.

my favarite subject
as others have said, low fuel comes on with 20 miles on range, but there's actually 3 gallons or so left in tank. Range would be more informative if it showed reality at low fuel warning.

...but I never paid attention to when the low fuel light came on (I guess I just relied on the MID display). Looks like (at least for my car) a 1.5 to 2 gallon reserve at 0 MID miles).

Thanks LL. I never push it that far, but on my TSX the light usually comes on at about 70 miles to go, so I thought I'd ask.

The magic number on my RL is 27 miles. That's when my "Fuel Low" / Gas Light comes on. Thanks for all the help.
