I've only seen my "fill up" indicator three times with the car I currently have - so I've never ran out - one of my gas nazi buddies fills up his truck every time he gets close to a half tank. I don't know if he thinks he's gonna get stranded somewhere, but I guess I don't have to worry about it when he's driving! Filling his 1/2 tank costs as much as my FULL tank though :)

Only once, and I meant to. I wanted to guage how many miles on average I had left after the low fuel indicator came on, so I carried a gas container in the trunk and just drove around until it stalled. It ended up being right around 40 miles left.
