Is the tank "full" when the gas pump cuts off the first time?
I can always put 2+ gallons in after the pump cuts off. Yesterday I filled my tank with 26.1 gallons after driving 16+miles with the Low Fuel light on. I could not find anything in the book about Low Fuel warning.
Maybe the tank holds 27 gallons all the way up to the fuel cap.

Yep, if you had my money, you too would never see a LOW FUEL message!

Low fuel lights are redundant irritants. I don't understand why carmakers see a need for them.
Maybe some customers don't quite get the concept of a fuel guage. You know, that whole "E" and "F" thing can be confusing sometimes. They need a light to tell them to get gas.
I can't imagine why a person would want one in a truck with a 36 gallon tank. It gets 500-600 miles between fill-ups. Surely, the concept of a re-fill dawns on someone after that many miles.
Ahhhhh, whatever.

The thing that really gets me is that the stinking message center keeps yelling at me about every 8-10 miles until I put gas in the thing. And my message center starts this at 50 miles. I don't think that I've ever been 50 miles from a gas station. Ding,ding,ding,ding... Anyway I'm guessing between 4-5 gallons. Has anyone ran their "distance to E" to zero? I have about 10 miles past and still only took on 28.7 gallons in a 30 gallon tank.

Edited for my stupidity in realizing I was in the '04 150 club by mistake...
Not that I have anything against women but some people really do believe that the car should be telling them something (buzzing/flashing lights) when something is wrong. Reminds me of an old episode of "Tool Time" when Jill ran the car without any oil pressure and she claimed that the car didn't make any buzzing indicator noises on the dash....Tim Taylor was like....."It's a car not a damn game show!!!"

All I know is there isn't enough gas left!!
I have run out three times now :o
I know for a fact if you are going 140Km/hr (~90Mi/hr) you have about 45 km (~28 mi) left after the light comes on....plus maybe 2 km of coasting
I'd say normal driving there is about 50 km of driving left....as I write this the fuel light is on in the truck now and I forgot to get gas yesterday so I maybe have 10 km left....this will probably be number 4 for me as the gas station is more than 10 km's away
I wish I could adjust the low fuel message with the Superchips tuner.
I came from a 97 f150 and I could drive forever when the light came on....I'm just not used to filling up when the needle approaches E
