Question Does low fuel gauge give additional warning?

I've had my low fuel gauge come on a couple of times and I know I have about 3-4 gallons (10 - 15 litres) left which is plenty. On my old Accord, after the low fuel gauge light is on for a while and it gets REALLY low, a continous warning buzzer comes on as well (then you would know you had to find gas pretty quickly).

Does my TL have this same feature? I'll rather not find out the hard way.

Wierd. My Sentra is very accurate going on when I have about 25miles of gas left.

The answer to your question is no. The TL low fuel warning light does come on at about when you said 3to4 Gal in tank.
The light will come on at this time & stay on thats it. In my 90&94 Accords the light would flash as the car would make a turn or go up or down a hill then it would stay on. The TL low fuel light just comes on.

Mine is pretty good about coming on right before I get to 3 Gal. left, and that I like.
