Yesterday I did a long range one tank run (Pittsburgh to Harrisburg and back) and about 20 miles from home the low tank light kicked on and the DTE stayed at 35. No use in taking a chance (with the wife and kids in the truck running out of gas on the Turnpike woiuld be a major negative) so one exit from home I cut off for a fill-up and it just took 23.5 gallons.
However, I take the good advice on staying above 1/4 tank for the sake of the pump.
