Never thought of it that way. I ride a motorcycle, and motorcycles
have a "reserve" tank (not really a separate tank) that you can switch
to when you "run out" of gas This way you know when you are low on
fuel, since most motorcycles do not have fuel gauges. Personally I
would rather have a damned fuel gauge; trying to turn a valve by your
knee while riding at highway speeds, all the while losing engine
power, is not the safest way to go. (Sorry for the non-aviation blurb;
lack of a fuel gauge in motorcycles is just a pet peeve of mine).

After you gain some experience riding you will learn to fuel up after having
driven x number of miles. You will also become comfortable switching to
reserve if you need to without any trouble and while riding at highway
speeds.

Motorcycles are generally not the safest mode of transportation out there,
so if it is safety that you are primarily concerned with, perhaps a
motorcycle is a bad choice for you.
