after the fuel gauge reaches "E" or your digital readout says "0"?
I've gone twenty miles, but didn't run outta gas.

You are one gutsy CWO! I hope you travel with a spare gas can.
Not gutsy regarding gas, just poor near the end of the month!

Are you my father? 
My dad did that crap when I was growing up. We floated into gas stations on a wing and a prayer during vacations!

I don't think I have children of which I am not aware (unless your mother was stationed in Korea in the mid-70s).
Actually, it was reported that most American's prefer a comfort zone when it comes to their fuel gauge being empty and it's really not. Germans wanted to know exactly how many miles left before they ran dry. I was just curious as to folks experience locally.

Sorry. But my dad was, well, not in the 70's ... in the 60's.
I think I've only had my gauge read 3 miles to go before empty and I was freaking out as I drove over the TJ bridge.

Once the guage in my truck hits the first red line, I've got about 4 gallons left. Roughly about 50 miles.

...Tacoma, 6 cyl, will go at least 22 miles once the pretty little light comes on.
If memory serves, I still had a gallon left based on what I put in v. what the book says the tank holds.
I do not intend to prove this.

I was in the exact same situation about a week ago. I was heading to VA to get gas and cigs over the Nice bridge. Three miles til empty. I wasn't worried so much about running out of gas as I was going up the steep incline and the pump couldn't get the gas to the engine. I put in two gallons at that rip off Citgo station right before the bridge just to make sure.
I usually fill up my work truck every 2 days at just under a half to 1/4 tank. I think this morning I put 21 or 22 gallons in it. I typically keep my Blazer and Suburban full, between the two thats alot of fuel. If anything ever happens I can get a hose and I have my own fuel reserve

I had a truck with two fuel tanks. But that was when gas was a whole lot cheaper. Now I wouldn't even consider such a thing.

It would take darn near 30 minutes to fill up when both tanks were empty!

My wife's car, a Chrysler concorde can go about 35 miles after the readout says 0. My truck, a Dodge Ram, doesnt have the fancy readout, but when the gauge says E, have the cell phone handy to call AAA not that I have ever needed to call them,
