Question AutoX with gas tank empty?

Will a MINI pick up all the gas in the tank or does it slosh around under cornering?
It seems like the Miata could get every drop out of the tank even at high g's.
In contrast, I could never turn left, even gently, in my Blazer unless I had at least a quarter tank.
Which category is the MINI in?

I'm no expert, but today Garfield (who *is* an expert) said that the MINI can essentially run on fumes. He told us that it can run below the empty mark even. This is all second-hand info though...

Whatever.

I've run mine in at least 10 events, always with less than 1/4 on fuel. I've never had a fuel pickup problem.
