I rememeber it was over one hundred degrees outside, and the nearest place to use the phone was about 2 miles away (I had no cell phone and had picked an awful time to wear jeans). So I started walking. About a mile into my walk, a lady with a little boy in the back of her car stopped to offer me a ride. I gratefully accepted. Have you had the misfortune of running out of gas or petrol? Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:23:46 GMT AmbiePam http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1354861.aspx Of gas? So, I went to run some errands on my lunch break today and I had a very tight time schedule. I get in my car and realize/remember that I needed gas and would not make it to even my first destination if I didn’t get some. Of course, I pushed it as far as I could and ended up lucky I didn’t run out. This took an extra 7 minutes or so and made me late coming back from lunch. As I said, I had a very tight schedule. Stuff like this always happens to me because I hate getting gas and always leave it until the last second. This means I usually come close to running out, pay more, and cut it very close to being on time to where I’m going. So tell me, are you someone that lets the tank drain to the end, and then you are in a panic about everything that goes along with this stupidity? Or, do you get gas once you hit ¼ tank or ½ tank or whatever. If you are a last minute gal/guy like me, what consequences have you paid because of this?

Well, on my way home from work, sure enough, the car died on me. Lucky for me, there was a gas station less than a half mile away, so I walked to the gas station and filled up one of those portable gas containers and got my car over to the gas station to fill it up. Now, I rarely ever let my car go past half empty because of that experience :) How about you, have you ever run out of gas while driving? Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:09:34 GMT omupas http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/544989.aspx OK, I deserved it! My husband just shakes his head when we're in my car because that light is always on that says I need more gas. I know almost to the mile how far I can go on a tank of gas, and I usualy don't get gas until I'm almost to that point. Usually, once the light comes on, I have 3 more gallons of gas, I get about 18 mpg, so to be safe, I don't go any further than 30 miles once the light comes on. UNTIL today... I barely pulled out of my parking lot at work, headed to the gas station, and there ya go, out of gas, stuck on the side of the road. This is the first time in AGES that I have run out of gas. I had to call my son, have hime drive the half hour to where I was and bring me some gas. I know my husband was laughing at me the whole time, but I deserve it. He always puts gas in his truck when it's just past half a tank. One day I'll learn... When do you fill up your tank? Have you ever run out of gas? Where were you? Who did you call?
