Ok, last time I ran out of gas in a non hybrid car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
When my wife went into labor one night, I jumped in the scout with her and headed off the hospital, ran out about half way there. I broke into a guys garage, pretty fast, took his can and fill up the truck. Baby was fine etc. I dropped by the next day with a full gas can and told him and his wife the story, they were really cool. Funny, we just got the Prius back, it needed a new gas tank, with sender inside, and new roll over valve. Wife ran out and the valve prevented filling the tank faster than using a straw... So, then she used my Audi...I get in the car and it says you have ZERO miles left..... I hyper miled into the station...did not run out, but who does this (my wife) Car took 22.79 gallons in a 23 gallons tank. Then, of course (same week) my sons car had a flat, he borrowed the truck for a couple of days, and guess what....the gauge was tapping the bottom of the dashboard when I got in....no more gas. I figured I was gonna walk with that one, so I brought an empty gas can with me.. Made it , but barely. Rich |
