From what little I've read about modern fuel pumps, as long as you're pumping liquid, you're OK. When it gets to the point where you are not pumping, the car shuts down anyway.

Unless you habitually run out of fuel, it shouldn't be a problem. But I'm no expert. YMMV.

I haven't either (on both accounts)

That's what I was thinking, glad to hear someone else say it. I'll do a little more research on my own when I have some time. Only run out of gas one time over 10 years ago, and that's all it took... and, of course, it wasn't in the Z.

I would be more concerned about the oil than gas. If I ever ran out of gas, it would simply be an inconvenience to me. Running low on oil can potentially damage the engine. Obviously there are different reasons for different concerns in daily vs track
