Felt feared & alone!!!

LOL! There was a time in my life when I was sure that the "E" on the gas gauge meant "enough" to get to the gas station! I have since learned that this is not true, although fortunately I did not have to get stranded at 2am in order to learn that lesson. I would have been scared if I were in that situation, especially since many of the roads that I travel are not heavy traffic roads. Then again, I am not sure that a bunch of people passing me by when I was stranded really would have been a comfort either.

With the high gas prices these days, the fuel tank is one indicator that I always keep a lookout in my car. I always guage how much, and how far it can go. And I always fuel up when I see the prices dip a little bit. You're lucky that you have someone to call on during emergencies. But make sure that you always fill up next time.

Oh dear you are lucky and blessed that at that hour you were able to get help and nothing happened to you. I would have been scared out of my wits had it been 2 am and I was stranded. I use to be able to fill my tank twice a week but being that I am not working now it is not easy as the fuel here is very expensive. So I do rely on where I am going and estimating if it is enough or not and try to put some just in case. I have not run out of gas but do have Triple A service also, in case I get a flat tire, run out of gas and or any form of car trouble towing. But at that hour I still would have to wait to be rescued and I would be scared. lol

So next time , better not assume. It's better to be always prepared for any eventuality. Why didn't you call your brother right away after the car had run out of fuel? Imagine , being alone in the middle of the road at 2 a.m. Had it happened to me, i would right away call for help over the cellphone. If not, i would ask for a ride to a kind looking stranger to get me home and i will attend to the car later in the morning.

good lesson my friend.the experience may have scared you at that time i guess.but i read somewhere a very nice quote i would like to share it with you. WE MAKE BAD DECISIONS AND FROM THEM WE HAVE LESSONS,AFTER YEARS THESE LESSONS ADD UP AND BE EXPERIENCE AND BY EXPERIENCE WE MAKE GOOD DECISIONS.SO EVERY BAD DECISION IS THE STEP TOWARDS GOOD DECISION. do you agree with me or not? constantly try to learn new thing every time whatever the situation is it conatins somthing to learn from it and you did the same.congratulations.

It never happened in mine but quite always in my friend's life. She is just way too lazy to get it filled and often calls up somebody for help. But this is no long distance travel. Just within the city. But that's enough of a lesson for all in my friends circle.

It happened with my cousin.. But not with me so far. But yeah even i don't much care about car's fuel meter. And i always use car till the E mark in fuel meter. But i guess i should be more careful on that. Its okay in city area but it can be messy if we are on lonely highways.
