He was asking how much gas is left in the tank when the warning light comes on. That answer is not in the owners manual. |

Its not in there. Check your own owners manual and tell us all how many gallons of fuel remain in the tank when the low fuel warning light comes on. The original poster stated twice that it was not listed, but apparently everyone wants to pontificate rather than actually look. Here is the wording in my owner's manual about the low fuel warning: "This light comes on when the fuel in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient, preferably before the fuel gauge reaches E. There will be a small reserve of fuel remaining in the tank when the fuel gauge needle reached E." Now tell me - how many gallons is a "small amount" and how many gallons is "getting low"? (Experience with this particular car indicates that "Getting low" is roughly 3.5 gallons. I don't know how many "small amount" is because I haven't been willing to run it dry and find out.) |

If you have a 13.5 gallon tank and it takes 12.587 gallons to fill it, the reserve is 0.913 gallons. Do you really need to be more accurate? |

I based my initial response on the fact that the Owners Manual for Honda products, in the past did state how much (approx.) was left in the tank when the low fuel light became lit. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion |

I apologize for my initial response, it was based as I stated above in Manuals of previous Hondas that I have owned. It used to be approximately nine litres (if my memory serves me well). More than enough to get to a gas station sixty miles away or more. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion |

At least four, and at least two when the indicator shows
