It's really hard to tell,fuel gauges are extremly inaccurate.My guess would be around 1 or 2 gallons, Ive been able to go about 60 miles when the yellow light came on before i finally found a gas station.
You could just drive in circles around a gas station till you run out and est. the amount by how many miles you went.

Im guessin prolly 2-3 ... my feul light on my prelude comes on when i hit 3 gallons left if that helps. Just run it till you get to the light, fill it up, watch how much it takes, then research how big your tank is and do the math. Never really a good idea to keep your tank so low tho...
My light doesnt just "come on." It will come on real dim at first then it usally turns completly off. Then it will come back on later and it will get brighter and brighter as more fuel is burned.

you should really get that fixed
but my guess is that its about 2-3 gallons, and the gauge wont even start measuring fuel until it has atleast 2 gallons of gas in it. i am guessing this because lately i have been filling up my tank by gallon, instead of by the dollar mark, just so i can find this out. i guess it hides a couple gallons to keep ppl from trying to live on the edge and try to run the tank COMPLETELY empty. my dad drive his truck way too long with a empty tank and he ended up having to replace his fuel pump cuz it was sucking up too much air or something. so i wouldnt recommend tempting fate by driving until the car dies on you.
Instead of guessing (how exactly does that help the original poster?), you guys could look in the owner's manual, where it tells you. 2.5-3 gallons when flashing, 2 when solid. Although I've driven a good 60 miles with it flashing and it never turned solid.

Since you know that your Gen 3 fuel tank holds 13.2 gallons, when your light comes on, simply stop at a gas station and fill up. Then subtract how many gallons you put in from 13.2 and that is how much is left.
