Uhhhh... no, not really.
The computer doesn't count it down to the last drop.
The last 4-5 gallons is usually considered the reserve.
My low fuel will come on (very consistently) within 17.5-18 gallons used.
I can definitely go more than 5 more miles (more like 50-60 miles).
However, Don't push it. Dredging all the CR** out of the tank and into
the fuel system is not a good idea!
