gas

[milesmiles]

So i was on my way to my parents house(corsicana), full leathers and loaded down backpack. My gas light had come on about 40miles out and i had been bookin it so i knew it was going to be a close call. I round the 2nd to last corner and give it some gas and it started to sputter. I knew i had to make it up the huge hill or i was screwed and wouldn't be able to push it up it.
It died right on the middle of the hill. I jumped off while it was still moving to start pushing with the momentum. Full gear i made it up the hill!!!!!!! Then i coasted down 1/16 of a mile to my house. Anyone else ever cut it that close?

The busa shut down on exit Clifford and I coasted into that Albertsons gas station....

Ran outta gas on the north side of Godley and coasted into the driveway of the valero. Only had to duck walk a few feet to the pump. Thank God too, I was on my way to work.
Laughed my butt off the whole time.

I've never actually run out, but I do know that the needle goes a significant distance below the red line

I had this 80 280ZX, I pulled into a Gulf, rolled up to the pump, and when I went for the key to turn it off, it died.

I owned a Suzuki Samurai(jeep looking thingy) and was driving from Houston to Laredo , 307 miles. The last gas stop is Freer, Tx then about 60 miles of nothing. I had one of my ex-mother-in-laws and ex-wife in the car. I figured I could make it all the way, ran out of gas 5 miles from Laredo!. Luckily a Sheriff came by and called a relative who brought me a gallon of gas. I almost made it!

Well, I don't ever recall laughing when I ran out, pushing or no. But the Karma Fairy does pay you a visit sometimes...I'm outside of Sulfur Springs about 5 miles, pass this old dude is a junker of a truck driving 40 down the interstate, cuss him as I drive by at 85, run out of gas about a mile outside of SS, and guess who stops to help, AND has a gallon jug full of gas in the back of the junker. I learned a valuable lesson, and now only cuss slow drivers in the fast lane.
