I happened to run out of fuel yesterday. Well, not on purpose. 
I went out for a Sunday afternoon ride in really bright weather conditions. When I left home, I saw, that there was not much fuel left and I should stop for refueling the next 25 km.
Well then I was underway and enjoyed riding so much, that I completely forget to refuel.
Somewhere in the back country all of the sudden the engine stopped working, just as if I had pressed the kill switch. There had been no warning at all before. At first reaction I thought, it was an electrical problem or so. But then it came to my mind, that I just had forgotten to refuel.
Looking at my Garmin gps, I figured out, next gas station was about 3 km away. Luckily I could ask another rider, who just stopped nearby, to get me some fuel from the gas station. That kind soul helped me out by bringing a can of about 3 liter and I could ride to the gas station to fill up completely.
Ok, here are the numbers:
It took exactly 250 km for my 2013 to empty the fuel tank completely. I refilled 14.5 liter.
I think, my last run out of fuel was about 30 years ago.
