13.2 US gallons per the handbook, & 'Guru Mike'

If you're only putting in 10 gallons then 200 to 250 miles is about right - cold starts, short trips, & stop go traffic will kill your mileage.

Usually 24 mpg here. I briefly get it into vtec every time I drive, too. Once the "you need gas" light gomes on, you should have at least 50 miles left. I tested that once, on the way home from the last Hills run

With the daily commute, I usually get around 270-280 miles, filling up a little over 11 gallons.

One time after driving almost exactly 300 highway miles, I filled up 10.0 gallons (30 mpg) and have gotten even better than 30mpg highway in the right conditions.

But yeah, the gas light is a bit random and the gas guage becomes pretty meaningless at the end. I just go by mileage and keep it on the safe side in case I've been revving it a bit too much (or slipping in the snow instead of going forward!).

that sounds right - you can drive what seems forever with the "get your gas now" light on.
