The Z's tank is shaped like that because of the rear strut brace if I'm not mistaken. Terrible design flaw... worst on the vehicle IMO
I run my tank down to empty (0 dots, --- Miles Remaining) more than 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time I fill up with less than 3 dots remaining. I have never experienced this problem, but that's because I'm fully aware of it. I'm not extra cautious on right hand turns or anything, but I am definitely aware not to push too hard when gas is low.

Yes, sorry if that wasnt clear. It's probably not fair to say the 370 is completely unique in its tank design, but it's certainly an odd bit of engineering.
