The fuel gage was a new feature in the '64 volkswagen.  No dip stick though.
When it started sputtering and coughing, you turned the knob to let the gas
from the reserve go.  You now had one gallon to get wherever.  Even the seventy
nine bugs (superbeetle convertables) had "R" instead of "E" at the left end of
the fuel gage.
