Well, my new car goes one step further and tells me exactly when I'm about to run out of gas.
That's a good thing, but apparently I am taking too much advantage of this feature.

Time to get back into following my dad's advice of filling up at 1/4 tank. He's a smart fellow.
I always fill up at 350 miles. I generally can get 450 miles per tank so I'm always safe. And now that I work from home, I went from filling up every single week to less than once a month, so now I just fill up before I drive out of town for anything. :)
ReplyDeleteI HATE running out of gas. Hate it.
In 15 years of driving (whoa) I've run out of gas once. The irony of it was I was driving to GET gas, and luckliy I was still in my neighborhood. I DID have to call my uncle to rescue me-he didn't let me live it down for a LONG time.
ReplyDeleteFilling up always gives me anxiety-mostly because I remember when it cost $20 to fill up my little corolla and now it's almost $40.
(But I must admit that I rarely fill up at a 1/4 tank-much to my dad and Mr Wonderful's chagrin. I usually wait for the gas light to come on-right around the time the needle is floating around the 'E'.)
