I think I must be old. I still use the old school technique of zero-ing the trip when I fill up and go looking for fuel around the 130-140 mile marker. Learnt back in the day, before many bikes had a fuel gauge/light.

(I have been saved by a reserve tap on a number of occasions, though, so not a perfect technique.)
