After replacing the gas tank on my Dodge Shadow, I could plainly see that the fuel pump is all the way to the left of the tank. (Did you see my Rant?)

I once "ran out of gas" with a quarter tank left because I had pulled over to the side of the road which had very steep shoulders.

I now have my fuel sender unit permanently closed off with a Mountain Dew can.

My Fuel gauge is always buried below empty and there is no low gas light.

I have been figuring fuel left by using my trip odometer for about the last 6 years now.
