My 740iL is also very accurate so far.  I can always drive until the  
light comes on.  I've not gone much below 35 miles of range left.   
The light comes on at 50 I think.  The light comes on when the needle  
is on 1/16.  I require 20.3 gallons or so at that point.  I think the  
tank is 22 gallons.
