Reset the fuel pump. Open the trunk. Look at the cover protecting the driver's side taillight. There will be a red button. Push that button.

The "E" on your gas gauge means empty. When it gets close to the "E" that means it is time to fill up. No need to max out on gas mileage like Kramer.

+1 on pump fuse reset. I'm not sure what else would go wrong from running out of gas...

btw Seinfeld was a great show!

Once that happened to a Camaro at my dad's dealership. It turned off and wouldn't start because the fuel ran out. So, they put gas in it with fuel injector cleaner, finally got it to start and revved the hell out of it!! redline revv. At that instant, a big BOOM went off and a cloud of drak black smoke came out the tailpipes. The slomaro then idled smoothly.
Maybe your injectors are dirty due to the fuel pump sucking up dirt that may have gotten into your gas tank? idk but that slomaro incident was a trip:/
