2005 - Wanted to see how far it goes: 14.007 gallons to the first click from "stalled an unable to restart" empty. 52x miles on that tank!

You hear all kinds of stuff on what you can and can't do, but I've run E85, E33, E22, E20, E10 and I always run the tank until the light comes on. 78K and no issues - YMMV.

I do have data logs that show fuel heats up as the tank level degreases, so that is real. In these days of food/fuel shortages or from a disaster preparedness standpoint, it would be best to refill to the first click from half a tank.
