I don't think Maxima's have one... I thought the same thing I drove it close to empty once and i didn't get a light either.

You certainly do have a gas light. Live dangerously and take your tank lower or else quit being so ****, and fill up before you get to E. Take your pick!

apparently it wasn't close enough. My gas light is a constant reminder of how broke I am at the moment. :-D

Of course it has a gas light (lol). It don't come on until you get well below E. You have a while after it comes on too. It's orange, and it is dim at first, and gets brighter the less gas you have. As for it not coming on, just keep gas in it. If you run it so low the light is on bright, you'll eventually burn out your fuel pump, and clog your filter with trash. Plain and simple, just keep gas in your car
