I rarely let my fuel gauge go below 1/4 tank-that is usually about 350 miles on the trip odometer. Reset your trip odometer at every gas fill up; once you have a good handle on what kind of mileage you're getting (miles on trip odo divided by gallons added at fill up=mpg), you'll know when to refill. My VX averages around 46 mpg-this means I still have at least 2 gallons (90 miles +) left in the tank when I refill. If you know how your vehicle performs, a low fuel light is really unnecessary.
