My SE gage works fine...I think the idiot light comes on with a 2 gallon factor of safety, if I am not mistaken.

Right on.

At 2.5 gallon left, the light will come on to be exact. It's far from accurate IMO. When the fuel gauge is on empty and the light is on, I can usually go another 50-90 miles before I coast off the road.
