My car went from 3-4 bars to 0 in about 5 miles the other day & I still only put in 11 gallons.

Get used to it. Look at it this way, you'll never run out of gas.

Yes, its normal. I've driven 20+ miles with no bars left and it will take 10.5 gallons or so to fill up.

im not even sure the gas guage work half the time. How can i lose 4 bars with 20 miles! I get about 120 miles at half tank, then around another 110 miles its at 1 bar and i get scared so i fill up, but then i hear that you can go another 20 miles when there aren't any bars!

Looks like you can probably go more like 50-75 miles further after the light comes on.
