last nite, my needle was above the Empty REd line. i thought maybe i had like 30-40 miles left to go, but the Empty light came on... so weird, usually cars go way down into the empty before the light comes on. but ours comes on when it seems like we have some gas in there.

I think it's a honda thing. My old hatch did it.

On my UK CTR when the light comes on and i fill up, the maximum

i can get in is 43 litres.. on a tank of 50 litres that isn't too bad...

7 Litres = about 30 -50 miles depending how hard you drive.

It comes on at about 3 gallons remaining.
If you fill up exactly when the light come on you will notice that your putting in around 10.X gallons of gas. It's a 13.2 gallon tank so yah it comes on really early.

Well if is like the UK Civic.. the Petrol (gas) tank is 11 Gallons / 50 litres... unless the US civic has a bigger tank.

So if you are putting in 10 and a bit gallons, you are running very low. This shouldn't be too much of a problem in a new car as there shouldn't be too much crap at the bottom of the tank.

Note: (4.544 litres / gallon (UK))

The Si in the U. S. has a 13.2 gallon tank. Actually the entire civic line does because my wifes 7th gen LX sedan has a 13.2 as well.
