The statistic should be: flight operation (each flight) vs accidents. The statstics will be higher than .1%. Legacy planes lack reliable fuel gages and warning lights, -the ones we have in our cars- and rental aircraft should be mandated to have these installed. Only with a yellow flashing light in the pilots face indicating low fuel the pilot will take the impending danger seriously and land. The nw Techological Advanced GA fleet did no have fuel exhaustion accident, yet!! So, there is proof that this technique can work instead of blaming the pilot of stupidity (lack of proper planning).
