Ok, I ran it to remaining miles " 5 " the pump shut off @ 19.4 gal. I put another 3 gal. So 22.4 gal. & the manual indicates the tank holds 24.6 gal . I'm confident @ last that with 0 miles remaining there's 2 gal. Remaining. A good thing to remember if it ever gets oh $h- - time.

Need to watch that! My wife's Montero said it had 11 miles DTE and it went 4 and crapped out!
I don't buy into that needle saying what it should as there are many conditions to say otherwise.
When the light comes on, time to hit the filling station period!

Filling gas tank
I am an old codger who was taught in my youth to never let the fuel gauge go below a quarter tank because the sediment that builds up over time in the tank will be drawn into the fuel system and cause major problems. I guess you cannot teach old dogs new tricks..
