2007 2.0. I am wondering the same thing. I drove 600kms and was only able to squeeze 40 lts in the tank. Needle was in between empty and 1/4. No light though. Good question.

Mine generally comes on with about 3 gallons left. Obviously the distance you can go on it is going to greatly depend on your driving style and gas mileage.

I'vedchecked mine twice to see but I normally fill up at a 1/4 of a tank. Both times it came on, I put in 11.6 and 11.7 gallons, so I had a little less than 2.4 gallons left. When filling up at a 1/4 of a tank, I usually put in about 10 gallons.
