Narrative:

I departed ZZZ with what I thought was 10 gal of fuel (2hrs @ 5 gph) from measuring the tanks with an asa fuel straw that I found in the aircraft (I later learned that that fuel straw was for a ce-152 not a ce-150). My original plan was to fly to ZZZ1 with alternates ZZZ2 and ZZZ4. After departure; I was given vectors up the beach at or below 2;500 feet MSL. Abeam [the] beach I requested direct ZZZ2 and it was approved. While listening to the hiwas over the ZZZ2 VOR; I learned of weather moving west to east along the state between me and my final destination of ZZZ3. I wanted to go behind the system; so I chose to continue to ZZZ1. 15 miles from the airport; I learned that the runway was closed via NOTAM until the following morning. I made a turn towards ZZZ4 as this would line me up for more favorable weather. Approximately 6 mi from ZZZ1 and 1 hr into the flight the engine lost power. I could see the runway to ZZZ1 and turned direct to the numbers after completing the engine failure checklist. I announced my intentions to land with [priority] on the CTAF frequency. Approximately 2 miles from the runway; I realized that I was going to be short and selected a farm road and made an off airport landing. The left tank fuel quantity indicator was showed a 1/4 of fuel upon landing. The right tank fuel quality indicator was just above the empty mark.
