Best solution is drive til it's bone dry,and stops..Then FILL it up with 10 bucks,and mark the gauge(or mentally note it).
That way you know that you always have 10 in there...BUT treat it like empty..so you always have gas..
I never let my car go below 1/4..(the way I drive I don't want sloshing gas to worry me!)
