924NA fuel tank capacity should be - "approx. 62 liters, of which 5 liters reserve"
(from the tech specs)

-So about 16 US gallons including the reserve.
The low fuel warning light probably comes on with about 1.5 to 2 gallons left.

Pootling around the island, I don't usually bother to monitor my mileage, but I did measure it on the trip back from the Nurburgring and I got 33 miles/(UK) gal., which converts to 27.5 miles/(US) gal.
