No, it's normal. I have the same. So when my fuel indicator has 2 lights left, it shows roughly 40 miles left. And then when it's down to 1 light left, it will turn into "---" like you mentioned. From my some daring experience, you roughly have 2 gallons left with 1 light and 0.5 gallon left when all lights are gone.

Just to share my recent experience. 2 dots left and flashing low fuel with about 38 miles remaining. Filled up the tank with 18 gallons. So I have about 1 gallon left in the tank based on the 19 gallon capacity. I suppose the computer is off by about 20 miles assuming I get about 18 mpg unless there is some sort of reserve capacity beyond the 19 gallons.
