I was in a club with 2 planes years back and would always really check them over prior to flight, many times things had to be fixed on the spot, but with my own plane which I built and know inside and out, if the fuel and oil is good, go for it. There is really no reason to ever run out of fuel. If for some reason I really got in a pinch I would just drop it in a good field (next to a house) and see if someone had a gas can and give me a ride to the local station..
