Low fuel light

I have a question for all you 7th gen Civic owners.

How low does your fuel gauge get before the low fuel light comes on ??

I got to the second last tick just before the red and still no light, is my light not working ??

usually mine turns on at the very last tick, or close to it. don't worry, if it turns on, you should have about 10 or less liters left in the tank. i usually drive my car until the gas light comes on. you should be able to go another 60-100KM depending on how you drive when the gas light comes on.

dont worry man, when the light comes on it's not telling you the car has zero gas left..just let you know you need to visit a gas station if possible...usually the reserved is around 10 litres

50 liters,

the light will usually go on after you've used approx 38-42 litres

Decamo has a little shameless behaviour in the past
So just how far down does that needle go? When my low fuel light comes on the meter is at or below empty. I thought I had about 30kms to go b4 dry but you guys say 60-100?
