I was just wondering if anyone has ever ran out of fuel while driving?
I've had the whole fuel symbol flash before but never had it run dry yet.

Not in the Mirage but I did once in my old Dodge Daytona. Less than month later the fuel pump went bad and took a $300 bite out of my wallet. When the light comes on, fill up ASAP. The fuel pump is lubricated by the gasoline and if you run it completely dry it will suck in air as well as the crud in the bottom of the tank which will lead to its demise. Not to mention walking to a gas station and possibly having to push your stalled vehicle off the road is not fun...

My last tank was 336 miles on 6 gallons. I got gas because the price had dropped from $2.389 to $2.149 a gallon (US). I usually refill at 1/4 tank or less if I am staying close to home. Last gas was 30 miles away at a station I have never used before.

Not bad, I try to refill around 30-40 miles left on my fuel per mile gauge
I put in 32.xx litres in once...
I figured once u have the gas gauge start to flash u have about 100km left.
I did twice, lol.
The fuel gauge is the most idiot proof gauge i've ever seen, three low gas lights.

I try to refill at 7-7 1/2 gallons when my gauge is going wild and flashing everything. Sometimes I get between 6-7 gallons. I switched to top tier gas, normally shell 87, I might run a tank of 93 shell every 10k or so.

I ran it empty last week.
I usually fill up when I get down to a little less than 1/2. Never know when you're going to have "go" to escape the zombie apocalypse
