Gosh ... sad to see another member might be leaving? 
I believe the fuel sensor in the Saga is a float and this can sometimes be inaccurate. E.g. stuck
Give it a few minutes and you should get the correct reading after awhile.
As for how far you can drive, here's my own experience.
Our tank is rated at 40 liters. The light comes on when you have 10 liters left. You can't use the full 10 liters due to the shape of the tank and position of the pump.
For me, I can normally drive an extra 30km after the light comes on comfortably. The most I've pushed it in city driving is around 50++km. That time I managed to pump in around RM66, which works out to about 34.7 liters. I remember reading about other forumers who had their engine die and refilled around RM68+-? which works out to around 36+- liters.
So my assumption is that not more than 6 of those 10 liters in reserve is usable and I never try to go more than that. My avg consumption in city is around 10++km a liter, so I should not exceed 60km after the light comes on. I rarely reach that limit (it's bad for your fuel pump) unless in emergencies of course, but it's good to know your limits.
Please do bear in mind that mine is the old blm, so fc should logically be inferior to yours.

Feel one shld fill up our tanks at earliest possible time rather than wait 4low level warning light 2do so...and risk so many cons shld we run out if fuel eg damaging fuel pump, not 4getting the embarrassment of being stranded cos of running out of petrol!!
Ever since me saw a Beamer by the roadside, with its driver/owner(?) filling her up fr a plastic bottle of fuel, me din wanna ever be in that "uncomfortable" position!
So, me hv alwaz made an effort 2top up all my cars' fuel tanks early...the longest me wait was when only 2 bars (now for Saga) left...
Better 2b safe than sorry, rite?
