Makes sense. If your low fuel warning light comes on, you're low on fuel.

Probably 3-5 gallons. Time to fill up. Your owner's manual should also have
the tank capacity listed. When you fill up, note how many gallons it takes,
then subtract that from the capacity and voila! you know how many gallons
you have when the light comes on.

Fuel gauge senders are typically designed to be only approximately accurate.
My '02 F250 comes on when I have about 2 gallons left. My wife's '04
Wrangler Unlimited comes on when it has 7 gallons left. Wish it was the
other way around.
