The trick is to set a tank level, say down to 1/4 tank, and then stop at the first station that has room for you to pull in.
Unfortunately though that also means you’re fueling up about 1/3rd more often too.
Modern fuel systems don’t have the same problems with running to empty, not dry, but empty, as they did decades ago. They have sizeable reserves, especially in gad hogs like A’s, so when the gauge reads empty there’s still quite a bit of gas left. Based on what Ford and Winnie says my tank capacity is, and what it takes to fill it from well below empty on the gauge there’s at least a 6 gallon reserve past empty.
