Fill the tank, reset the trip odometer, refuel when you get to 300 miles, repeat...

Also, the low fuel light IS accurate, so if I push it past 300 miles until it comes on, I always know I have AT LEAST 20 miles to go before I'm in trouble.

BTW, if you can't get at least 300 miles out of a full tank (you don't need a guage to know it's full, just wait for the gas pump to click off) you either drive 100% in stop and go traffic, or you may need to look into something. With gas prices as they are, any fuel economy related fixes are probably worth their costs!
