Just out of curiosity - when the low fuel lamp illuminates on the Stratus, how much fuel (or highway driving distance) is left? I expect that it must be a reasonable amount, otherwise the indication would be of limited value.
I wouldn't normally let things get to that state, but I did once for interest. The tank then took about 50.1 L or 13.2 gallons.
How big is your tank? The difference between that and the 13.2 gallons would be your reserve. For my PT Cruiser it comes on at about 13 gallons, leaving around 2 in reserve.
Ayep, as Carl states, simple math gives you gallon reserve.
Fair warning, that reserve is not all you get from the fuel pump. I.E.> if you have a 2 gallon reserve when light goes on, expect only about 80% of that reserve usable from the fuel pump.
