Love the thread - enjoyable and entertaining reading.
I ran out of petrol once, many, many years ago in my teenage years. Ever since I try to fill up once the gauge gets to a quarter full. I've had the warning light come on once, but filled up within a few miles - so at least I know it works. I've never tried to change the display to show range or amount of fuel left - not even sure if I can do that on my car (E320 cdi 2009 vintage).
There might be lots of clever devices to tell you how close you are to whatever, and to remind you that you've started the engine, and while they're nice to have, I think it's possible to become too reliant on technology!
