In my five years of ownership (Daily Driver: U.S. 2016 EX 6MT, 120,000-miles), I had never used up so much fuel until yesterday. I usually refill shortly after the "Low Fuel" warning light comes on but, due to circumstances (related to scheduling), I drove until all segments on the gas gauge were gone and the "Range" readout dropped to "0" and stayed there for about five miles. I thought, for sure, that I was "running on fumes" but, at the pump, it took only 8.9-gallons. If the tank, supposedly, holds 10-gallons, I actually had over a gallon of gas left. (I know about not operating with very low fuel, in order to keep the fuel pump cool, which is why this episode was a rare occurrance.) So, it appears that Honda engineers programmed the system very conservatively. If this ever happens again, my anxiety level will be lower.
