Running on fumes....

Forgot to get gas on the way home yesterday, so I had to stop on the way in to work this morning. It automatically shut off at ~14.3 gallons, I did my normal pull out a couple inches and pull the handle one more time thing to bring it up to the numebr shown. None of it spilled btw. And yes, I know it is not the best to run that low because of tank sediment.

You got lucky you didn't have to hike to the gas station.

Wow I get gas usually when it gets close to the bottom line. I ran out before and I only went about 20 miles after the light came on.

for 93 octane that is about normal around here. I usually go to BJ's though when I'm not pressed for time to save about 15 cents a gallon.
