gas gauges
Tank level displays
Gas gauges is the plural of gas gauge, an instrument that displays how much fuel remains in a vehicle's tank.
The needle moves from F (full) to E (empty) as fuel depletes: The gas gauge was on empty, so we pulled into the next station.
Figuratively, running on empty suggests exhaustion or depleted resources.
