If your fuel guage doesn't work and you're not in a hurry to fix it, go to the gas station and do a fill up and grab a reciept that has the number of gallons on it. Before you drive away, clear your trip odometer. Drive normally until the low fuel light comes on (if you don't have one, driving until you stall is an indicator but that's much less convenient). At this point, divide the miles you've driven by the number of gallons of gas you bought LAST time. This is your realistic miles per gallon. In the future, use the odometer as your fuel guage. As long as you know how many gallons you put in last time you can use the number of miles you've traveled to guestimate how many more you can go.
