Yes absolutely, but after a few trips and a steady cruise speed you know exactly how much fuel you have. So I always plan out a trip for fuel and fuel accordingly.
One thing I have learned from the this is, my old Detroit's don't burn 35 gal hr each, they burn 30 in calm and 35 in rough, combined. So that's only 30 or so GA per hr for both @ 1850. So my old restive fuel senders were way off. And since I hold 480 gal, I never filled up in one shot to Calc correctly. Well worth the money spent for this adventure.
