I think it's normal. I own three vehicles that have the alert on it, our 2004 Suburban, our 2005 Mustang and the FRS. They all signal at about the point where you could drive between 50 and 75 miles before worrying. The actual range will extend beyond that by a "margin of safety". They, of course, have to signal at a different level in the tank.

by comparison my Accord goes 15 gallons (450 miles) before light and then only has another 2 gallons or less. Whereas my frs hits the e after only 9 or 10 gallons. and then I have another 2.5 gallons? |

On the 16 model, anywhere from 255-280 miles before I get the gas light, I did a refill at 240miles (just hit eh last bar on my gauge) and probably had another 30miles left before the light popped up

Toyota in general seems to have a higher reserve capacity than others from what ive seen. The lights always seem to come on quite early.
