Default E is for Empty.

Well, usually when the little fuel light comes on the distance-to-empty
counter will run down past 4-5 miles and the ZJ has no problem.

Except today. The light was on and the dte said I had 20 miles left.
Plenty to get gas this afternoon. however....

Got off the highway from a long drive (Little Rock to Oklahoma) and
just as I slowed for a stoplight.... sputter.. stall.

Stopped, restarted, thought nothing of it as "stall happens" sometimes.
But the next time I slowed.. sputter... stall.. Got a restart and made
it all the way to a gas station.

And what do you know. They were having a price war and the price was down
to 2.40/gal

Hi Doug,
That's something you couldn't in the old mechanical days. Of course
that pump didn't instantly cook when dry. ;-)
