Ran out of gas twice in my first year of driving. The first time was in in 64 Fairlane 500. It had all requirements of a first car, rusted out floor pans, week battery, poor brakes and the require funky gas gauge. The gas guage would work or not randomly. It was still showing 1/4 tank when it quit. The second time was with my 73 Triumph. When that gauge showed empty it meant it. Yep, rolled it up to the pump no pushing required.

I've put 26 1/2 gallons in a 26 gallon tank. So stretch it, yes.
