purposefully ran to empty the tank

my honda civic got 62 miles after orange light (2 dots left), 49miles of those were after 0 dots left. after running ~40 miles worry free over last few days, i finally decided to finish it off by taking over the anti-clockwise 405-520 loop(attached) back and forth. after 2 loops the car stopped responding to accelerator at the start of ramp (270degree 3/4 circle near pin-2 marked in picture) , then in the middle of ramp engine went off and steering were unpowered . few moments of jitter due to hardened steering :D. but was able to put car in neutral gear and used some extra muscles to steer to end of ramp and park on the shoulder straight (pointed by pin-2 in picture). re-fuelled using spare fuel (around ~0.7 gallons as i couldnt empty the container) and immediately headed to gas station where it just filled 11.93gallons. manual said 13.2 is tank size , 13.2 - 11.93 - 0.7 = 0.6 gallons is the extra gap for expansion of fuel in heat.
