We've all done it - driven a car with the fuel gauge past 'empty' and hoping not to get stuck along the way. Some people aren't quite as worried because they claim that they "know their tank".

Tankonempty.com aims to demystify the mystique that surrounds this issue by allowing users to write in how far they've driven their car after the warning light goes on.

Seeing as how it's a bad idea to run your car at very low fuel levels, this site's service could prove to be beneficial. Besides, not many people are willing to get first-hand experience on how far their cars can stretch it. The validity of the data is probably questionable as just about anybody can contribute data without verification but it probably provides a good estimate.
