I voted don't risk it until I saw who posted.

I think most cars have at least 20-30 miles of range beyond what they say

Surprised that you would even dare. Unreal.

Depends what kind of truck. If it’s a F-150, stop and get gas.

This. I've heard the F150's gas mileage indicator referred to as a Lie-O-Meter.

Most vehicles have an extra gallon or so in the tank when the miles hit zero. However, you run the risk of running the

I fill up as it approaches the halfway mark

Mine likes to run it until almost empty, so that I have to be the one to stop

Alan Schaefer

You are not.

Archaea

Don't. Your fuel pump relies on the fuel to cool it down. Low fuel = hot fuel pump = premature failure.

Not to mention the sediment that concentrates when little gas is left

My Ram said I had 30 miles to go, but it had 7 gallons left in the tank.

No it’s uphill so add another 30 miles

If you're using your AC, there's no way you make it home without filling up

Ironhide

I don't know what the big deal about not filling up is. IDon't understand why
