Miles until fill up, how far do you dare?

[powercruzer13]

Low fuel light came on at 220 miles the other day so I pulled in to the first gas station I saw. Only took 5.2 gallons so I wondered..... How far can you push the F6B on fuel miles before disaster?
Did my fuel light cry wolf? I know I am digging the distance between fill ups compared to the 130 miles or so on my Valkyries. But it did have a 1 1/8 gallon reserve that the F6B obviously doesn't have.
Anybody run their "B" to dry yet? Or how close did you get?

Steady fuel light at 235 highway miles. 5.4 gallons.

Hmmm!
Never got past 180, what the heck?

I Don't go past 245 miles runing at 55 or 60....at 70mph plus 200 miles...then time for a fillup....

I have gone 279.3 mi and put in 6.212 gal. I usually fill up to the vent hole in the neck.
I haven't had a chance to check it on a trip since installing the cruise control, but they said I should see up to a 20% gain.

240's the longest I've gone. And I've not hit 200 before the light came on. Your mileage may vary-literally.

I barely get 160 before my light comes on. Most I have gotten is 200 and my light was on for a while. I guess cruising at 80-90mph doesn't help.
