My fuel light always comes on when there are two bars remaining. The light doesn't come on immediately when it drops from three to two. It's like mid-way between two bars and one bar!
I've never taken it much below zero bars, so I don't really know how close I was to running out.
I routinely fill to the filler neck on mine. It always takes 1.8 gallons after the first click off. I like having the extra capacity and range! I've filled with over 12 gallons before, but that includes the extra 1.8. I don't think Honda means 12.4 with the extra pumping I do... I'm guessing it's 12.4 to first click (with an almost-dry tank)... and 14.2 if you were to add the extra 1.8.
