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...

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
