Two issues here:
1) Mileage is an estimate based on how much gas you have and what mileage the computer expects. Your car has a preprogrammed figure that is conservative, but will learn what you get and will adjust.
2) From a different thread:
I can appreciate your post - in my Murano when the light came on I had about 35 miles before I truly had to fuel-up otherwise risk calling AAA.
With my new TCH the fuel light goes on, I drive for another 30 miles, pull in for fuel and get ~ 14.5 gals to "top-off" on a 17.2 gal tank - so I'm still learning how much more I can go without getting nervous.
Too bad the Nav screen & Speedometer Display shows "0" miles right after the fuel light comes on - I can see calibrating off to ensure you're really not a "0" but it seams like it comes on with ~ 3-4 gal left...
Nevertheless...what a great car...
Bottom line, you should get way more from your tank than your computer is estimating. Hope this helps.
