How accurate........the guage gives an approximate reading to what you have in the tank, ie 3/4 full.......half full.....1/4 full..........approximately! ( don't read it as being exact! )

With regards to how many miles once the light comes on, personally i don't even attempt to drive the 16 miles back from my work.......fill it as soon as possible! I'm sure i read somewhere you shouldn't let the level in the tank drop that low anyway as any debris/crap/water in the tank will undoubtedly be sucked into the fuel lines. ( i say water because the more air in the tank the more chance of condensation happening although i`m sure someone will say differently! )
