Like Diego I've never owned a bike with an actual fuel gauge. The way I see it is like so. I have a 4.6 gallon tank. I get a low average of say 35MPG. Therefore I should be thinking of topping off somewhere around 120 miles to be on the safe side. On my touring bike I generally stop after 100 miles to stretch, drink water, hit the restroom and top off the tank. I never get close to running out of gas if I can help it and I never rely on the low fuel light. IT's never bothered me that I didn't have a fuel gauge. Once I figured my average gas mileage I was good to go.
