there's been a long discussion on same opic. I guess you can find the reference to that thread in DIY thread here.

IIRC, it's 2 gallons.

for a gen2TL the tank holds 17.3
the low level light activates at 3 gal remaining
of which approx 2.5-2.7 are `useable fuel`--able to be picked up and keep engine running

Basically when the light comes on you have 50 miles to find your favorite brand.
do NOT run a fuel injected car out of fuel on purpose--very bad for it

best way to know is when it comes on fill up your tank. What ever that total is subtract from 17-17.3 and that is the amount left in your tank. Mine is a little over 3 when it comes on.
