If one is a fairly consistent driver, you should be able to know by your trip meter how many miles (kilometers) you have left, or by the number of beads of sweat on your brow (inversely proportional to the fuel guage) as the tank runs dry.

Yes, but with fuel starvation none of this applies. You have fuel in the tank but because it isn't near the fuel pump pickup you can't use it. If you drive slow and cautious you can run it down to fumes, but drive it hard and you'll get a big surprise.
