Something strange happened 2 days ago. I had little less than 1/8 of the gas tank full and the range on the screen says 5 miles. I was driving on the free way and the range dropped to 1 mile and it stayed at 1 mile for more than 4 miles before the empty light on the dashboard turned RED. I was concerned that either the gas mileage range or the tank gauge could be defective. So I pulled over to the next exit to find a gas station and I was able to fill only 16.4 Gallons in the tank.
So does that mean the mileage range need to be calibrated or what?

The range on the trip computer and the dash warning light are seperate. The TC range also has a preset "buffer" or "offset" that can be adjusted:

Even the dash warning light comes on when there's still reserve left -- something like 2.5 gals but I'm too lazy to look it up It cannot be calibrated.
