Default I ran out of gas once and I think that's enough

What up ppl?I have a problem in which my gas gauge doesn't work.It always reads full and I have already ran out of gas once.I have been filling the tank and going by the mileage.Like after 300miles I'll fill the tank up again,buts thats really annoying!I forget sometimes and end up not knowing when to fill up!Help me out guys!I think it's the floater in the gas tank,but I would like some other suggestions.If you can tell me how to do it,that would help alot too!Thanks fam!

That's just how the Civics are. The gas guages are never really accurate. Just go on mileage.

Yep.
I gas up by gas mileage too. The needle is too inaccurate.

How about you refill at 200 or 250 miles instead of 300?
