This is not ture if your can is newer then around 1990 ish.

I always though that the low fuel light came on when you fuel pump was starting to be uncovered with gas. You need the fuel to cool the pump. Running very low on gas is not a good idea and will shorten the life of the fuel pump.

I do agree that short fills can make quite a bit of diffenerence in the MPG but it will also show on the next tank.
Of course that could be another urban legend. As always YMMV.
