I think the light comes on at the appropriate time (i.e., approx 3 gallons left and range of 50 miles), but I think the range should be more accurate at low fuel.
Interestingly, when I fill up, the range then shows 400+ miles. I almost always average 20.5 mpg. So when full, the range is thinking I have close to 20 gallons to consume. But at low fuel, it is thinking more like 17 gallons.

I don't know how many miles but you can rely on your range to tell you:

what is the most amount of gas you have put in for a fill-up
Mine is 18.5 gallons - engine was cutting out going uphill

I have only had the light come on once. From the fill I would guess there was about 2 gallons left--20-50 miles. BTW, it's never a good idea to let the tank get so low as the gas cools the fuel pump. An overheated fuel pump will shorten its life and/or lead to failure.
