I just ran out of fuel. Normally an embarrassing and annoying event, I just continued in EV mode to the gas station and refueled! The details: At 1,586 mi Range hit "0" miles. I put the car in 'EV later Mode', reset Trip Computer 1, and drove to 1,615 mi using .46 gallons of fuel. So there were .46 gallons of fuel in my tank when the range hit "0" When I refueled after a couple of EV miles to the gas station, the pump clicked off at 13.331 gal. I clicked one more time to 13.545 gal Two things happened after the car announced the tank was actually EMPTY: - The A/C compressor shut off and - The MFD went to map mode and displayed all the fuel stations as icons. Interesting experience. Ford claims a 14 gallon tank, but it appears usable fuel is closer to 13.5 gallons. Has anyone else run the tank dry? (I know members will say this hurts the fuel pump, but I ran the fuel out several times in my Prius to no ill effect (with a 1 gal portable tank aboard to get to the gas station)) (When the "Reserve" light started flashing in my 2010 Prius I had approximately 2.3 gallons left in the tank.)
