I've come close a few times. Once I was going down the interstate and didn't want to have to get off before my exit. I see the exit in sight and my car starts acting weird. I pull over and it sputters to a stop. I was like aw WTF. At this time the hand was past the read completely lol Sat there a min, a few cranks later and it started up. Drove about 20 for the next two miles to the station.

Same thing here! I also have some money under the seat. Anyway, usaly I don't forget my wallet :P

In the summer I take my teg few time a week, but not much more so I full the tank one time a month.

I hate Montreal because its full of stressed people on the road, but everything is near my app... I don't use my car more than 2 times a week.

I know my mr2 is low on gas when it starts sputtering. Either that or the mass air meter fell apart again... :l

thats because its 500 dollar fine if you run out of gas on the autobahn lol

i seem to have the same problem, my light works in my 99 hatch but when its on i have around .2 of a gallon left lol

I take my arrow past the letter E all the time and surprisingly have never ran out of gas. I usually hypermile when my gas is on low. Wait, having a small honda over a v8 dumbmestic is already hypermiling lol.

I believe Slater wrote that article, the same B16 Del Slo I used to beat with my D15B7 :)
