Now, here's one for you. You reset your totalizer but the Line Goober used
an "auto off" nozzle that left you ten gallons short on a side. You run one
dry, but now your totalizer thinks you have twenty gallons more than you
have. Who now is the safe one? The one that timed a tank to see how long
it ran dry (and hence remaining time in the other one, since Goober probably
used the same technique on one tank as the other) or the one that relies on
the totalizer with about two hours less than calculated?

For mr that is a non-concern. I visually inspect each tank if I do
not fill it and any "shortfall" is well below my acceptable refueling
level anyway.

I like having a totalizer functionality.
