Low Fuel Warning

Purchased my RAM 1500 a couple of months ago and window sticker says it has a 32 gallon gas tank. I've filled up about 4 times and each time I waited until the low fuel warning message displayed. But when I fill up, I have never had to put in more than 26 gallons. Are there really 6 gallons still in the tank when the low fuel warning comes on?

It means when the gas light comes on you actually need gas. the point of getting the bigger tank is to get more rangewhich you dont get the way its programmed now because why play a guessing game. I usually fill up before the gas light even comes on but the way its programmed on the 32 gal tank right now when the needle is on empty I still effectively have a quarter tank.
Exactly. I don't want to have to guess how much further I can go when the gas gauge shows empty. It shouldn't be that hard to get the gas gauge to show correctly.
