If the light was consistent, that would work. Very few cars are consistent enough to be accurate this way. Our car is nowhere close enough -- it fades in and out rather than clicking on.
Just use the trip meter - reset it when you fill, and divide that number by how much you put in.
Maybe fill a small gas can and take it with you -- drive around an area where you can get to a station quickly, and drive until the light comes on.
