How many miles/gallons left when fuel light comes on?

[zoomzoom]

When my light comes on, I know for sure that I can go at least 30 miles.

how many gallons is our trucks anyway? i had the light on and drove about 3 miles, and i filled up and put 16 gallons if that helps.

yeah i gotta like stretch it sometimes but on my 4 banger i have between 1 gallon and half a gallon, it goes on and off when its really low which is scary at times. ive filled up thinking i had about a gallon left, and there was less than half a gallon left. i mean .487, but yeah.

I haven't seen my low fuel light. I don' plan on seeing it either. I fill up at a quarter tank and it takes just over 15 gallons in a 21.1 gallon tank.

I generally fill mine up at half for this very reason. Besides, I'd hate to need to be somewhere in a hurry (evacuation of some sort?), and only have 2 gallons in my tank...
