How low do you let your tank get before stopping?

I just got back from my longest trip with my travel trailer yet. I get nervous when the tank drops below half, which makes us stop every two hours or so. This was mainly on the interstate, so no lack ...

When I had my old 97 F150, it only had a 26 gallon tank... I stopped for gas on a 4 hr trip at around the 2 hr mark..

With the new 13 F150 that has a 36 gallon tank, I do that same 4 hr trip with gas to spare and get some gas the next day just to do it while we are "out and about"..

But, in general, I will go down to 1/4 tank at most and then start looking.

Good luck!
