Good going! As you get more familiar with your car, you'll learn how much reserve you have after the low fuel light goes on. I went 50 miles on my xB after its low fuel light went on, and still had 1.1 gal. left in my gas tank, according to what it took to refill it. So when I went for my 1000 km (621.37 mile) tank, I knew I had it when my low fuel light went on at 575 miles.
