This is why you need a fuel gauge, kids.

My first car. It was a faggot automatic.

>Live in valley in buttfuck nowhere

>Gas station in village is inexplicably closed 5 hours early with no note or explanation
>Have to turn around
>Just crest the top of the (extremely tall, mountain foothills size) hill heading into my town, and car sputtters once, gauge is well below empty
>Coast all the way down the hill in neutral
>No brakes, coasting into town going 100~ kmh
>Conserve momentum all the way to the gas station, but now going quite slow - have to turn a corner as well
>Put it in drive to take the corner and pull up to the pump
>Car dies about 5 feet from the pump

kek. I just pushed it close enough to reach.

You stole my satan trips asshole

Satan hates you, deal with it

>running out of gas

>Didn't even have enough to make it there, ran out on the highway after like 1.5 km

payed 1100 for it. didnt care. only drove it 10k miles before it took a dump anyway

>smack the dash in frustration, needle drops and light comes on.
>...

>not carrying a gallon of gas with you
>daily a old car
>have gas and coolant, belts, and oil just in case

Pic related, had gas but the incline of the hill the gas didnt reach the pump pick up in my gas tank. Spare gallon to the rescue

>driving girl back from date
>forgot to fill up
>oh shit is that E?
>*puttputtputt-psssshhh*
>actually run out of fuel
>she thinks it's a funny joke
>starts caressing my face
>full tongue kiss
>unbutton her blouse and start rubbing her already puffy vulva
>she unzips my pants and pulls my cock out

Sometimes it's good to be forgetful

I still had to walk a mile to get gas though

Thankfully I've never run out.

>Driving my subaru
>Been on E forever, working shitty Walmart job, hardly any money
>Car starts sputtering
>Limp into a self serving gas station that only takes cards.
>Car dies as I roll to the pump
>Put last 10 dollars in my tank
>Don't eat the next day

Got fired from that job. Its one of the best things to happen to me in a while because right now I've got 200 in my pocket

Doesn't your car smell like gas inside because of the extra gallon?
And isn't that dangerous because you can't smell a gas leak?

>Honda in the back ground with a painted hood, spewing oil smoke

Business as usual

>17
>First Car
>Poor as fuck
>Have something like £11 in my bank account
>Need to get to college
>Think I can make it with the fuel I have but will have to put £10 in when I get there
>Car dies outside college
>Its okay 'cos I'm autistic faggot (no one knows me)
>Plan to buy fuel can and £5 worth of petrol (at the time petrol was 75p a litre
>Walk to petrol station 5 mins away
>They won't accept my card (visa Solo) at the petrol station, and have no cash
>Go to use ATM, it has a £2.50 charge. Can't get any money
>End up walking 3 miles to next petrol station via a free to use ATM
>Get fuel, walk back to car
>Fill it up drive home

TL:DR
Don't be poor

>driving corolla
>dead broke
>$30 in bank account
>corolla overheating/in disrepair
>had to juggle car repairs and running costs
>eventually made it out alive
really taught me something about money management. It was either no fuel and a slightly fixed up car or fuel but limping it everywhere. Didnt help when my pizza delivery job required me to have a car either

it fucking sucked to be poor

Like 3 times

>driving truck home after I bought it, 75mi all freeway
>gauge says E about 3/4 the way home
>floor it and get off at my exit
>pull into gas station, fill up
>only took 9 gallons
>16 gallon tank
>wew lad


Gauge can say half a tank, and be at 2 gallons, or 6, or 8, whatever it feels like. I should really clean out the secondary tank, no point having dual 16's and only using one at 10mpg....

>painted hood
>african american driving

Das Raycist

you and thatoldbastard gotta be some of the oldest people on the board m8, petrol hasnt been that cheap since the late 90's

Don't forget the front license plate falling off, yellowed headlight covers, and fucked suspension

I run out of fuel often since my fuel gauge is broken.
Keep 2 gallons in the trunk to get me to a gas station, only had to use it once.

>low on fuel
>better floor it!
That'll work out well in the future

>"Dude you need gas
>"Let's see how far we can go"

might have been more then.
This was in 2003/2004

My car smells like unburnt fuel and oil at all times being pre smog era.

As for the gas its in a sealed plastic container. Hasnt leaked or anything so far
