This past weekend at Watkins Glen I ran out of gas with the gauge showing a little less than 1/4 tank. VERY embarrasing to pull off and stop as other cars wizzed by (and I have that on video for laughs). After car sat for about 30 seconds it started right up and I was able to drive back to my garage. At that point gauge still read a little under 1/4 tank and display said 58 miles to empty. Roketman called his buddy at Ford who told me to never let my Boss get below 1/4 tank at a track event...especially at a track like WG with some high G sweepers. I figured it's just a fuel pickup issue with fuel sloshing in long high G turns. It's worse. The gauge lies and reads about 1/4 tank high. I decided with 58 miles to go I could easily make it into town to gas up so I did not buy any of the $9/gal stuff at the track. As I'm driving the few miles into town the gauge quickly plummets to "E" as the miles per empty display is clicking down about 1 mile to go every 1/10 of a mile. I managed to make it the nearest station and put 15.8 gallons into the 16 gallon tank.
