I'm used to shitty gauges though. My old 106s fuel gauge used to move upto 3/4 of a tank when cornering. Go left all the time and you had a full tank
 until I ran out once  In the end didn't have a gauge that worked. Just guessed it on miles.

I been driving for 3 years almost and ran out once in mondeo cos gauge didn't work. I had it chugging for 10 miles and made it home. But next time it chugged twice and ran out just before petrol station. I've had so many close calls but always make it. It's exciting pushing it

You know they just guess at your fuel anyway. I have managed to get 55 litres in when on a quarter of a tank before.
