typically the low fuel light comes on when there is 3 gallons left.
and if you have bad gas milage I would look into a tune up and more specifically changing out the upstream o2 sensor.

My AWD's have a 15 gallon tank and I would imagine yours would be about the same. The most I ever filled was 15.2 gallons, and I was literally running on fumes (new to me car, broken fuel gauge). Also, 16 MPG is not good at all! I can easily get 23 on my GSX, and I don't like to drive too slow :) I agree with /\ that you should probably replace your front O2 sensor. If you search you will find more reasons why you will get bad gas mileage.
