I reset the trip odometer when the low fuel light came on, so that's how many miles I drove after that, mostly city. Clearly, E is not empty. There are some threads on here about the gas gauge, which gave me the guts to run it down that low. I could see light between the Needle and the Empty line (the needle was well below E), and as the receipt shows there was still plenty of room for error. Wish I would have driven another 10 miles at least in hindsight. Hope this helps.

Above is taken from the Visconti tune thread. Lots of guys running their tanks down very low in order to switch over to E85. Looks like 2 gallons is a good rule of thumb.
