I usually get anywhere from 200-235 miles, depending on how I drive, when my light goes on. I haven't really payed attention to the amount of gas left when the light is actually on. It seems from some posts that there's a decent amount of gas left?

City Driving
Driving back and forth to work, church and "puppy camp" -- all runs that are between 4 and 8 miles one way with hills and stop lights -- I find I can go between 210 and 240 miles before I get a "Low Fuel" indicator.
A typical Fill Up after the "Low Fuel" is about 12.5 gallons (average). I say about and average as I don't always acknowledge the light immediately.

Mileage
Have had my 09 Element EX automatic for 3 years. Never could do better than 17 or 18 in town; 19-20 tops on the highway. But last 6 months have been using this super awesome product that's giving me roughly 20-21 mpg in town, and last long road trip... 26.6 mpg on the highway! Per fill-up, am seeing a cost-savings of around 18 to 20%!!!

Have to ask - what is this "super awesome product" of which you speak?
I just purchased my Element a week ago. It is a 2005 with 81k on it and I got 207 miles before my gas light came on. I figured it would get just a tad bit better than that.. I feel your pain Sam.

This super awesome product is called green fuel tabs. It's marketed by a company called GFT Global. If you want to purchase some tabs to give them a try, let me know. You have to run through 3 tanks using the tabs before you see and feel a noticeable difference, as it takes a while for them to clean all that gunk and deposits out of your engine. But the more you use them, the better your mileage will be and the better your E will perform.

My weekly driving is primarily commuting and the commute to and from work is about 2/3 freeway miles, 1/3 street. My 09 (with 42K miles on it) is pretty steady at giving me 280-310 miles before the light comes on.
I am not a lead foot, but not a granny either, with freeway speed between 60-70 mph.
The best I have done was about 25mpg. Usually it's around 22-23.

My 2007 sc get bad fuel economy. I drive it like a baby bad fuel economy, drive like I stole it bad fuel economy. I put a k&n air filter no improvement. Did a cold air intake type deal no improvement. I get 18 19 if I'm lucky. I have had a few road trips got anywhere from 20 to 25. But more on the lower end. I drive highway and interstate most of the time

500+ miles per fill-up
With my 06 LX stickshift 4WD I regulary get 500+ miles per fill-up. The vehicles delivers 30 - 32 mpg. 'Shoot back - drive 55' is the secret.
Hypermile, cruise in the right lane and avoid using the brakes unnecessarily
-and-
most important: Don't idle the car (every 4 minutes idling = 1 mile less range!)
Oh, by the way: Our gas is USD 7.15 per Gallon...
