Funny, I'm one of those people who want to know what the gauge
*really* means when it gets down in the red, so usually one of the
first things I do with a vehicle is run it dry.  IIRC my '84 was able
to take 15.7+ from dry, including slow fill at the very end to make
sure the overflow shutoff really meant it.  US gallons, that is.
