I've been at empty with the Miles Till Empty gauge flashing --- and driven 37 additional miles. When I filled up, it filled with 18.5 gallons. So our fuel gauge probably measures to 17-18 gallons while we have a 20 gallon tank. Same thing with my brother's 3.5 Altima

it's for the idiots who like to drive when it hits empty and see how far you can go. there are about 2 gallons of gas in the hoses once the "empty" light comes on. it's a safety feature. it's so you don't hit empty and automatically stall and have to walk to the gas station.
