As a general rule of thumb you should never really go below 1/4 tank just to make sure you don't mess up your engine or any components of the fuel system.
In the G, the fuel light comes on at just under 1/4 tank. I wouldn't wait any longer than that to fill up unless you absolutely had to. Just not worth it

"the fuel up is located inside the gas tank to help "muffle the buzzing noise produced by the electric pump motor, and immersing the pump in fuel helps lubricate and cool the pump motor.
"Driving with the fuel tank less than one-quarter full, can shorten pump life by causing it to run hot. It also increases the risk of momentarily starving the pump for fuel when cornering sharply, braking or accelerating.
"Running out of gas can sometimes damage an electric fuel pump by starving it for cooling and lubrication."
