When the entire bottom Bars is blinking from the gauge, how many gallon is left? I fill up from blinking and it only fill up about 7.459 gallon,.. our tank is 9.2 gallon so we have about 60 miles left to drive before it dry out?

I was at a red light and I could see my idle RPM's dropping. I threw it in neutral and coasted right into the gas station. It didn't run dry but that's the closest I've come to it.

It probably depends on just HOW full you filled it up as well. I don't think whatever gas is in the filler neck is counted as tank capacity. A filler neck can hold as much as 1/2 a gallon of fuel. That's an extra 20-30 miles with these cars.
When I ran mine empty, it took nearly 9.5 gallons to fill it back up.

Wait, so I usually fill up when it doesnt show anymore on the range. Does anyone know if there a warning beep or light that comes on when you're really close to running dry?
From what I'm reading is that I still have a lot more left in the tank once it goes blank

Good to know. My light started blinking and I could not get to a gas station right away and was in a bit of a panic. When I finally did fill up, it only took 7.25 gallons and had travelled 327 miles. I previously had a Honda Fit which had a small tank and could barely go 300 miles. The extra 50 miles is convenient to have. I'd love a care that could go 500 miles on a tank, but thanks the the VW TDI scandal, the days of diesel passenger cards in this country are numbered. Too bad. Those engines had nice driving characteristics.
A good rule of thumb is that each of the eight bars on the fuel gauge represents about a gallon, with a bit over a gallon in reserve when there are no more bars left.
There will also usually be a bit more fuel in the filler neck.
