+1.  Another thing to consider is that the neccessity of manually
switching to reserve is a pain in the butt, at best.

At worst, it can be downright dangerous, depending on what sort of
traffic situation you're involved in at the time, and how quick you
are to realize that your motor sputtering means you're not going
anywhere unless you make the switch, like right now...(!)

Now I do remember the last time I used reserve...in the HOV lane
during rush hour in Atlanta.  Took me a couple seconds for it to click
in that I was outta gas and my only escape route was to coast across 3
lanes of 70 mph traffic to the shoulder...took another couple to
remember reserve, fumble for the petcock, turn it and wait for it to
kick in.  By that time, there were tires screeching all around me.

That's why I use the odometer as a fuel gauge.
