I take the total number of miles I have on the tank when when the drop to 1 bar happens, divide by 7 (for the 7 bars that have disappeared) and apply that per bar amount to the last bar as well (and yes, I know the 'tick down interval' (for lack of a better way to describe it) Isn't equal for each bar (I read CTScott's very interesting thread/experiment related to this). My 'method' has worked very well for me. The only times I've run out of gas were when I went WAY over that number of miles for the last bar. At those times I knew I was risking running of of gas, but re a time crunch or no gas stations available I pressed on, trying to make it to my destination.
