Based on your description the system is probably operating correctly. 29 miles remaining is less than one gallon (I average 30 mpg on daily commute and 35mpg on expressway driving). Each start from a stoplight will typically consume 0.1 gallons (old rule of thumb), or 3 miles worth of gas. One quick "goose" of the accelerator may consume more than that.
I believe the tank holds a litle more than 16 gallons. 500 miles forecasted driving range after a fill-up is reasonable. I usualy fill-up after 350-400 miles of driving, and have never gone below 1/8 tank. Yeah, maybe I am anal about some things.
