The Pathfinder solved all that, and we can effortlessly run with full

you've always got 5.5 hours of fuel available.
When I bought my low-wing, 4-tank airplane after flying mostly C-172s
that never left the "both" position, I though the fuel management aspect
was a negative for the low-wing plane. I actually find it reassuring
that for a typical flight, where I never use the aux tanks at all, I'd
have to run out of gas 4 times before a forced landing.
