How Far Can We Go?
Before I got reliable numbers on our new toy I was worried about running to Empty. I even stopped for $20 of Diesel when I was only 20 miles from home and I still had 2 bars out of 10 on the fuel gag...

I've never really worried about the 'miles' as mpg can change due to headwinds, terrain, traffic etc.
So when fuel gauge gets to 1/2 tank I look for fuel and fill up.
Gives me plenty of leeway to find fuel.
Unless you are familiar with the road and know a good spot to take on fuel... Start looking when you get to half a tank.
If you are close to your destination, you can wait, but don't be left on the side of the road, because you thought you could make it.
Mine seemed to use more fuel when I got to 1/4 tank.
I also like the comfort of having plenty of fuel.
Some locations have their pumps laid out wrong, and aren't worth the trouble, unless your pushing empty.
