The reserve light in my wagon doesn't come on until I am well into the reserve. I'd suggest you use the gauge mostly. The light is for people who never look at the gauge, unlikely a problem for most everyone on this forum. When my tank gets really low I can sometimes get a small amount of air that causes the car to run rough. A little more air and the engine stalls and needs to reprimed. I agree with psfred that your strainer is probably partially clogged but otherwise I don't think you have to worry about going below 1/4 tank, just don't go too far into the reserve.
