Dealer says fuel light ....

The Dealer told me when I bought my 2001 CL that when the gas light comes on, there is about 3 gallons left PLUS whatever is in the fuel line (half gallon+).

My normal driving mileage is 26-ish MPG, so 3.5 x 26 = 91 miles remaining.

On the highway, 29+ MPG is my normal.

For highway only driving, I get 380+ miles per tank.

Since driving habits matter too, you should know that in around the metro I live, half in traffic, half interstate, I normally fill up (tiny bit less than 1/4 tank remaining) at around 320 miles per tank. This is before the FUEL light comes on. I'm from the north mid-west - in winter, you don't allow your tank to get too low. Stuck in a blizzard with a little water in the tank and low gas can be deadly.
