Do you ever run out of gas?

In the 6 years Ive been driving I have ran out of gas 2x and it was only because my gas guage failed on me. H just text me: "I need you to come bring me gas"

Yesterday he told me he needed to go to the gas station so I said ok, I guess he never went. He says he puttered into the school parking lot. I told him I would think about coming to bring him the gas can when his class is over.

Re: Do you ever run out of gas?

  • In the the 11 yrs that I have been driving I have never run out of gas. I try not to let my gas gauge go below a 1/4 tank.

  • nope, but i've come pretty darn close! 

    Not a good feeling....of course that always seems to happen when there's like 10 more miles to the next exit on the highway, am i right??

  • Nope, never. I was darn close when I was lost in a rental car on a work trip before I had a GPS. It was nighttime and I was in the middle of no where and scared!

  • I have twice. Once driving to my Dad's house to get gas money (I was 16) and another time was when I thought I could make it a few more miles before I had to get gas. The first time wasn't so bad, the second time I had to call H (BF at the time) and he was super pissed at me.

  • i think when i was 16 i did. but otherwise, no. my gauge goes off at 50, 25, 10, and 0 so I have a lot of warning. i have let it go below 0 though.
    Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
  • Never in my car and I let it go until my light goes on half the time.

    H and I were on our way home from class a few years ago in H's car and his gas gauge had quit working and he was having to estimate how much gas he had in the car. We pulled out of the parking spot and got to the end of the aisle and it just stopped. Lovely time.

  • Never have. I used to be awful about it and would always be on E before I filled it (old car didn't have a light or noise) Now I'm really OCD and fill the tank almost every week. I really could go a week and a half before the light comes on.
  • I have twice... in one day LMAO

  • No, but I've cut it closeer than I should with the gas light on.

    DH's idiot father ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere Alaska when DH was about 16. DH kept telling his dad "This is the last gas station for a long time, we need to stop." And his dad would say "Naw, we can make it." His dad got to walk about like 5 or so miles when they did run out of gas. (Not saying people who run out of gas are idiots...but my FIL is.)

  • I have never run out of gas.  I try not to let my tank get too far below 1/4 full.
