There was a guy in Oregon in 1994-95 who landed his Tiger on Interstate 5
and enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame...until it was discovered it was his
second emergency landing on Interestate 5 in a few years, both times
because of fuel starvation.

Starvation? Or exhaustion?

"Fuel starvation" is usually used to describe a mechanical problem in which
fuel is present, but not getting to the engine. It's true that fuel
exhaustion will cause fuel starvation, but if the true problem is known and
is exhaustion, it's considered more correct to use that term.
