Fuel consumption depends on many factors, not least of which is how much intermediate gear work you have to do. Most of my local driving involves quite steep climbs, so the RP tends to give me about 35 -36 mpg (imperial). On longer and flatter runs, I get between 40-45 mpg.
And yes, the best I can say for my petrol gauge is that it nearly works, so I always make sure that the gauge is registering at least half full. So far I haven't run out! However, with a rear tank, all that evaporates when the car stands for a few days is the contents of the carburetor.
