The fact is that in my experience, gas gauges are very inaccurate and
non-linear.

I've found that about non linear. The first five
gals don't even register, so you keep thinking
the tank is full. And when it pegs on E, might be
five to eight gal in the tank.

Much better to fuel up more often, and keep the
tank full. less likely to run out of gas.
The top third doesn't cost any more to fill than the bottom third.
