The empty indicator lamp is on when roughly 14 gallons were consumped, but the tank holds roughly 17 gallons.

My light comes on when 13.3 gallons are used. 1999 TL. It's very consistant. I can always figure on driving at least 60-100 more miles after the light comes on.

Doesn't it show in the owners manual how big the tank is? It has been in every owners manual that I have ever seen.
