When does your gas light go on?

Hey guys,
I've had my G for a little over three months now and I've never gone below the 1/4 mark on my gas tank (it's just a habit, haha)

However, this week I went pretty low on the gas meter, and I was wondering when does your gas light come on? On my previous cars, the light would come on just below the 1/4 mark.

Here's a picture.


Thanks!

My gas light comes on about 1/2 way between the 1/4 mark and E. Usually at about 375 miles.

Never had mine come on! Haha. Lowest I've had the gauge go is about 1/3 of the way down past the 1/4 line. I don't like to let my cars get to low... you can cause problems running your tank almost bone dry.

When the light comes on there's 4 gallons left. But yea, obviously don't let it run bone dry! You'd be the guy on the interstate pouring a gallon of gas in your tank lol

First time that I filled up car, the fuel light came on when the needle was just over the 1/4 mark. Since I had the dealership change out the sensor in the tank the light never comes on anymore and I always fill up no less than half of the 1/4 mark

EDIT: Just curious from the pic, I see that trip meter is at 244 miles. I hope that wasn't from a full tank fill up.

Haha, it wasn't. I was seeing how far it was from my house to my friend's house one day so I reset it. If I remember correctly it was a couple days after I filled up.

Went to the gas station today....

LOL. That's about what I put in at every fill up. Pushing it would be pumping 19 gallons in.

My light comes on around that final little mark. I usually let it go under the E, just 'cause I know it can >___> I also rarely fill all the way up; It's kind of stupid/silly, but I don't fill it full to save weight (and thus gas) lmao.

Edit: NOT UNDER THE E hahaahhah. Under the final mark.

it's usually around 300km when my light comes on. I've estimated that I can go another 100km before it's totally empty (not that I would let that happen).
