I flight tested useable fuel in my Legacy. Left tank ran down to 0.4
gallons, and right tank down to 0.1 gallons before engine stopped
making noise, Fuel totalizer readings were verified when I filled back
up. Flight was in smooth air, coordinated flight. Now my question is
what to do with these numbers. How low should I let a tank get before
takeoff? landing? cruise flight before switching tanks? etc.
