Last few fuel dots?!?

JARblue

Other than fuel starvation potential, I'm still confused as to what is the actual issue. If I'm driving where I think FS might be a problem (i.e. on a track), then I will adjust my fill up habits accordingly. So far, all I've heard, is that the life of the fuel pump might be shortened by waiting so long to fill up with no evidence why or how that might happen. I will certainly post if I ever have a problem, but I haven't had a problem yet in 2+ years of DD.

No response needed unless you can explain why the fuel pump would fail because I don't put gas in the car soon enough with a 'running out of gas' scenario excluded from the equation. I'm happy for everyone to do whatever they want when they fill up their cars, but it just seems like there are a lot of people saying that the Z should be filled up at 5 dots or half a tank or something without a valid reason why.
