gas mileage
i have a 94ex its automatic. I was wondering how many miles more can i go when the gas light comes on, and also when i hit the brake, the interior lights come on and the front coner lights. what could be causing that.

There is only one way to find out.

Bob:
The fuel warning lamp will start as a momentary flicker (sometimes going on/off if you're going up/down hills). When it comes on solid you've got only several gallons left (but this can vary between cars). You should be pointing at a gas station by this time.

Now, given that accord fuel gauges aren't entirely accurate I wouldn't go simply off the gauge. I'd rely more on the miles you've driven since the tank was full and the low fuel warning light.

Agreed. I reset my trip odometer every time I fill up for gas. This allows me to figure out my gas mileage as well as rely on my brain to figure out how much is left in the tank. I hardly ever use the gas gauge.
I caution letting the tank go that far down before refilling. This makes your fuel pump work harder and increases the chance of you sucking up the crap on the bottom of your tank.

You obviously have a wiring mess there. Something is criss crossed.
