Default How far have you made it on empty?/

The other night I was miles away from home and I realized that I forgot my wallet, and I was out of gas. Having no other option, I just kept driving on empty..after it said -0- on the readout, I still made it about another 50 miles. Has anyone else experienced this??

Default reminds me of 55W light bulbs that give off the light of a 60W bulb ...

which gives off the light of a 75W bulb... which gives off the light of an 82.75W bulb... which [...] gives off the light of the SUN, I guess (?).
but I digress... :-)

Default The lowest I've taken mine is 5miles to empty on the digital (more)

but the analog gauge was down to the far left red line. I didn't dare drive much further than that without refilling though, as the woes of Brad Willis struck me before I even got my car (twice his car ran out of gas with it appearing to have plenty of gas left according to the gauges). Due to his stories, I was wary of even letting it get to where I did..

Default A related question, what's the unusable portion of the tank?

We always end up putting in 11 gal. I'm wondering
how far we have left at that point.
