how many miles do u get before the car says it needs more?

I been testing this for a while now, ill fill up V-Power full tank, and ill get about 250 miles before the car says i have ---- miles left on my tank, ill still drive around more, cus i know i have a 20gal tank...

once i hit 300 or so ill fill up.
Even then im only filling 17 or so gal.

i get about 18 mpg

just filled up a full tank,

my dash read:
MPG 18.8
MPH 29.7
328.4 miles I drove on the last full tank
(the light went off at 248miles)
after I filled up the dash read that I have 320miles before I run out.

I filled up
17.776 Gal

so why is my car telling me i have ---- Miles left in my tank just after using 13-14 Gal??

does this happen to anyone else?

fyi: the car stores 2gallons as reserve and the ---- comes on when you have less than a gallon left of the "unreserved" gas (if that makes sense) , so technically you have about 2-3gallons(40-70depending) left after seeing the ----.

I believe this is true. I ran mine down to where I got the warning of 8 miles before empty (I was on the highway and was getting nervous). When I filled it to the brim it only took 16.5 gallons. I mentioned this to the service guy at the dealership and he said that the car has a 2 or 3 gallon reserve.
