I needed gas but it was 14 cents a gallon more where I work then at home. The computer said it was 15 miles to empty I figured it was about 12 or 13 to get to the gas station. I made it to the station with the gauge showing 3 miles to empty. It took 15.3 to fill it up!!! Sometime I just have to have a little more to worry about on the drive home???

At least you're DRIVING instead of thumbing a ride to a station.

Enjoy.....

LOL, reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer test drives that car to see how far they can travel past "E"

Funny, my parents always freaked on me if I let the gauge go past 1/2

Just remember, fuel is what lubricates the fuel pump, the more you are on 'E' the quicker the fuel pump will burn itself out... just a friendly reminder
