In the case of analog-toilet-bowl-float-connected-to-a-rheostat type
fuel gauges, what does the word "reserve" mean? Surely folks aren't
expected to think that once the pointer reaches "E" they still have 0.9
gallons left. I'm pretty distrustful of any readings close to "E".

(Just keepin' the list alive on a fairly sleepy Friday -- TGIFBM58thBW!*)
