I know some people just like things to work, but to be honest you can live without one. I messed about with my fuel gauge about 35 years ago trying to get it to work and buggered it up, so now it reads 3 gallons, constantly. Most of the time my runabouts are usually in the order of 25-30 miles and a quick check with the dip-stick can confirm whether I've got enough for the journey. However, I always use a belt & braces approach and have a 5 litre (sorry, one gallon) emergency supply behind the passenger seat, just in case. This philosphy served me well on the Santiago run, and I never once had to resort to the "reserve". Just saying.
