I had just purchased a new car & planned to go on a long trip shortly. Before leaving town, I drove it to what I thought would be near empty. I spent several hours on the side of the 405 waiting for fuel. <sigh> This car is empty as it hits "e", not afterwards!

kaylei Rookie Author Minnesota Posts:4 Points:26,555 Joined:Oct 2007	Message Posted: Jun 22, 2009 7:51:11 PM Ignore kaylei Report Abuse No I have never run out of gas. If you do run out of gas on a interstate highway you can get a ticket for it.

For me... It hasn't happened in over 3 years... Had a car with a bad gauge... Only a handful of times, maybe once every 100,000 miles.

ponyup All-Star Author Missouri Posts:698 Points:110,020 Joined:Mar 2008	Message Posted: Jul 23, 2008 2:05:00 PM Ignore ponyup Report Abuse Twice on my truck. Both times had to take it to the shop since it's a diesel and had an air bubble. The mechanic checked and discovered my sending unit was bad and giving me a wrong reading on the gauge. Wondered how I could be empty with a quarter tank left.
