Oh and maybe you should reserve your fuel stunts for the way back home..

I've run everything I have owned out at least once. I haven't run the Mazda CX-5 out yet because it's a company car and I have a company gas card, but there is about a 70 mile stretch just after Boise to Ontario Oregon of no petrol stations. The fuel light came on not long after leaving Boise, and I whipped out Gasbuddy to see where the next and most affordable station was, and it said "no stations found". At that point I slowed to 55 (in a 75) and turned the AC off. Felt like a sucker when I filled up and calculated I had about a gallon left. Could have driven 75 with AC on and made it.
I've run the motorcycle out 2 weekends in a row; once coasting into it, the other time I had to push it about 1/4 mile. There was 1 other time I coasted it into the station.
Running out of fuel has never caused me to be late. I've always known it was a possibility and planned accordingly.
