I ran out of gas...

I hate having to put petrol in the car. I think having to put petrol in a car is a major malfunction that car manufacturers are going to have to look at more closely. I should be able to get in the car and drive and not have to worry about silly things like petrol, oil, water, anti-freeze, lights, wipers etc. I haven't a clue how much mileage my car does to the gallon. All I know is that when the red light shows I have 40 kilometres left. On a couple of occasions my car has spluttered into the garage, driving practically on fumes and prayers.

No no lady not have such a experience like you face. In pakistan there is cng station after i think 10 to 15 minute drive. So if some body not have a gas in a car then the cng is near.

I just want to say that I have been int he car when my wife ran out of gas. It is really embarssing. We were driving down a very busy road and the car all of a sudden would only go up to 10 miles an hour. Everyone was passing us, honking, flipping the finger. Luckily we were close to a parking lot, so we pulled into there. My folks can and got me and I went and got some gas. Good times... good times.

You should get Triple A (if it's available where your at) they will bring you gas if you run out .. for free (with a membership of course) and your husband will never know. (: Also helps if you lock your keys in the car!

My mom does the exact same thing, and it makes me crazy! I don't know how many times I have had to save her. Anyway, I try to keep mine at least half full. You never know what emergency will come up and you'll need to travel further than 30 miles. (I've learned from experience that when I have an emergency, I was always out of gas.)

My dad always used to run out of gas. He would try to make it as far as he could claiming there was a "reserve" of 5 gallons or something. When you get on empty you can usually go a little ways, but I've learned never to cut it too close.

I have never run out yet but I usually run it until I am almost out, the funny thing is you do not spend more on gas by doing what your husband does.

check the mileage of your vehicle

I have never ran out of gas, but I do sometimes ran it on low. Sometimes funds are low, or its too cold or I am in a hurry so I won't stop for gas. I kind of have an idea when I am really in danger of running out. I would call TRipple AAA if I ran out.

When I get down to a quarter of a tank, I fill mine up usually. Sometimes I have to get it at less though.

In India we use to fill our vehicle tanks with petrol and running out of petrol is very common foe me. I always keep a can with me, so that whenever i run out, I go to nearby stattion and get the oil to fill my vehicle

hi, i am satish from hyderabad, india. once i ran out of gas in my truck when i was nearly 10kms from the godown where the load has to be unloaded. i called my father who also runs truck and he reached to our spot where my truck became dumb. then i filled my tank and headed towards my destination.

You sound like my DH. If I had a dollar for everytime he has run out of gas since I met him I would have a much bigger house! So people like to live on the edge.

At least you can admit your mistake, even if you've kept repeating it! *laugh* I think that it's great that you can do so. I think that it is best to fill up the tank, or at least to start thinking of it, when you get a bit less than halfway towards empty. I know that it's not always easy to stick to that kind of a motto, but it's a good gauge. ^_^

oh no. ha. it caught up to you. you ran out of gas. I usually wait until mine gets below a quarter of a tank. but if I wait until it gets on the red I get nervous. lol my husband waits until his warning light comes on too.

You should be more careful. What if you run out of gas in a bad area of town? Or there is no gas station, and you have to walk miles to get to one? I'd be filling it when it got to 1/4 a tank.

I wait until the light is on and then I still push it. I have not ran out of gas before, but I'm sure I will one day (knock on wood) My husband hate's when I do this but I can't stand putting gas in the car. So when we are going out, we have to decide which car has gas, it is usually his.lol

I havent ran out of gas in ages,i fill my carup when it get on a 1/2 tank like your hubby.you never know when you have to go somewere during the night.if i did run out of gas i would have no one to call

I have only ran out of gas ONCE and it was just recently happened actually. I told my hubby that the car needed gas, and he said do you wanna get it now or wait till after we goto walmart. and i said well it can wait, cause we have enough to goto walmart and come home, and what not...Well the next day i was on my way back to work and i have a very short drive to work, it is around the corner...Well i get to the busiest road in my town and i get ready to turn on to the road and the car jsut quit! Just shut down :( and i pressed the gas enough that i could coast down the road and get to the side street believe it or not, next ot he police station...And a car pulled behind me, and i motioned for them to go around me, and it jsut so happened to be the chief of police :):):) He got some officers to push my car into a parking spot and got me gas..I called my work told them i would be latem y car ran out of gas, they sent two of the guys out ot find me and make sure i was ok. i called my hubby, he couldnt help but laugh and say i told you so, LMAO!!! Its all good, i got a full tank of gas and i really watch it now.

I am a very paranoid driver anyway, so I tend to get freaked out when my gas gauge is at less than a half a tank. I've always been this way and thankfully, I've never ran out of gas before getting to a station. Then again, I'd rather run out of gas than to have my car break down on me in the middle of the road (which HAS happend to me...lol)
