That's also where I am now, watching the tripmeter. Ran out of fuel for the first time in many years a few nights ago, the fuel gauge was showing between 1/4 and R. However the low fuel light had been on a couple days, that seems to still work well.
I made it 552 miles on a tank in my SD. I drive short distances, stop and go, extremely hilly terrain... I'm thrilled to find out my new-to-me cheap used car is getting around 25MPG. If I wasn't so broke I would have found out exactly how much fuel the tank would have taken from empty (maybe some tank screen clogging going on?).
At least I bought a new autozone battery this month.
