Default Fuel gauge query

I know that when the fuel gauge is halfway between the "empty" position and the quarter mark, that I have around an eight of a tank left

As the tank on my CDT holds 65 litres, this means I have around 16 litres or roughly 3.5 gallons

As I'm getting around 42 mpg at the moment, I should be theoretically be good for just over 140 miles. Right?

What worries me is that sometime the low fuel warning will be on at this level, sometimes not. So, which do I trust? The needle or the light? (and if the latter, how much fuel do I have left?!)
