I object to the analog nature of the scale :-). My car has ten little boxes ("too-ticky boxes", according to Teo) that indicate the fuel level. I refuel when the tank is at 20%, unless I'm about to drive to Southern California, when I fill up regardless of what the fuel gauge shows. I was told when I bought my hybrid that it's very bad to actually run out of gas, as it's even worse to drain the battery, and it requires some kind of re-calibration when that happens. I don't remember the details, just "don't run out of gas".
