Please also post how many times you ran out of gas while driving.
I'll start:
Twice in ~20 yrs.

One of those by Sandy?

Once but that was on a van with a broken fuel meter.

No. But not entirely my fault. IIRC, the first time, the gas gauge was broken.

Actually come to think of it, i think i ran out three times. Twice on a broken gas gauge, and once when I was driving local, from my house on the way to get gas!

My gas gauge is broken. It stays at above full for a long time after filling up, and then at some point glides gracefully down to 3/4. I've watched that happen.

I dunno, but I once put in more gas than the fuel tank officially holds...

Gas station was ripping you off.

I don't know how many miles or what car, but I got stuck twice with no gas

Once in Antwerp and once on a highway between monsey and monroe.

Both times I called Chaveirim but you can't compare Chaverim of both places!

Oh... I totally forgot one more time on the day of my wedding....(it was by the big snow storm in NYC,and I wasn't the driver

)

To and from the valley (~20 miles round trip) with my light on.
I was driving over a canyon so there was lots of stopping and going.
My 2001 civic made it but I wouldn't try it again! It's not the sort of place I would wanna get stuck!
