Today the "50miles to empty" message came on the dash.
I then drove another 23 miles before stopping for gas.
The truck was carefully topped off with 16 gallons of fuel with 358 miles on the tank.
The mileage was accurate for the miles driven (22.4 MPG).
This left 2.8 gallons in the tank... subtract another 1.2 gallons for the remaining predicted 27 miles.
This leaves 1.6 gallons in reserve if the tank is rated at 18.8 gallons, or 8/10th of a gallon if you count the tank as 18 gallons even.
