It isn't my habit, but I'm curious about it. I wanted to know what my actual range is on a full tank. I've waited until I thought it was a completely empty tank (on E and the light had been on for some time), but it only took about 12 gallons. On other occasions where I was near this amount it took more and less respectively. I'm just curious, and I'm sure there is someone out there that knows what it's set at. There is probably a switch that activates when the float is at a point equal to a certain amount of fuel left. Also, the float telling the guage that it is empty is probably set with a specific amount of fuel left beyond that, too.
