This way if I'm not near a petrol station when I would normally fill up I know how far I can travel assuming I'm not going to get stuck in traffic which is another reason why I dont run the car if possible below 1/4 as you never know when you might get stuck in a jam.
I wouldn't rely on the warning light. On a Saab 96 that I had the light used to come on when I had about 4 gallons left so I knew that I could do a good 100 miles or more before filling. Then one day...........it only came on when I had about a gallon left. I ran out of petrol twice before I twigged.
