[QUOTE="blacksheep10, post: 681330, member: 13"] In high school I had no money, dad would only let me work on the farm as an unpaid intern laughing1 and money was very short. I got to sell wood in the winter out of what was left from cutting hedge posts and did hay in the summer after ours was done. My old 79 chevy had no gas gauge and I had no money, so I ran out a few times. Like 5 times my senior year, normally within a block of the gas station. Pushed it in a few times, alway try to approach from the uphill direction. At 20 I Borrowed my mom's S10 blazer once to run one town over and ran out on the side of the road with 1/4 tank left on the gauge. That was an awesome walk. At 25 my Dodge diesel ran out on a wheeling trip (fuel gauge decided to quit the week before). I was driving by the odometer and headed to the gas station over the next hill and apparently my mileage calc was off with the trailer and rig I was towing (first time pulling, big goosneck and rockwell rig). Everybody else had 50 miles left and I was out so we found out. I don't remember if its happened since then, that last one was 13 years ago. To my best recollection I haven't, and neither has my wife of 10 years or my senior in HS daughter. My wife pushes it all the time driving with the ****ing fuel light on and it pisses me off. Fuel pumps like to be wet for longevity and the top half costs the same as the bottom half. [/QUOTE]
