i have put 14.5 gallons in my tank, FWIW. You've got some margin there to play with.
Of course that's easy when I mostly drive in an area where I'm never more than a few miles from fuel. If I lived in the central or western states it'd be another story...

Auto-pilot
Good luck with that auto-pilot on your trip to Nebraska. I think too many people do that on a regular basis...

13.2 gallons, plus a reserve of 2.1. So you've got 15.3 gallons. Try not to use up that last gallon, it's not so good for the fuel pump
