Unless you just like to stop at the gas station all the time. Wish we had a common easy tank swap. I've seen a few on here but all require a good deal of fabrication.
I get gas when I get to the 00 mark. Sometimes I do have to go a few miles over the 100, but sometimes I stop before I actually get to the 100 mark. Sometimes it takes a little more than two gallons and sometimes it takes a little less. Over all, it evens out, it is just a guideline. Only very rarely do I go to reserve, but by then I am looking hard for gas.
I think we are making this alot harder than it needs to be.
I have two tanks in my truck and the gauge is off on the rear. If I ignore that, I can still get into trouble. A gauge is more of a guide (like 100 miles is for some of us). I can hear you now, "I can't be out of gas, the gauge still shows a little."
OK, I'm through ranting now!
