How close have you gotten to running out of gas?

In my moms car I was down to 1 mile of gas and it hit 0 right when I pulled into the station.

The lowest amount of gas I pumped was $2.67, I was in a sticky situation and needed some gas quick so i found all the change in my car.

Stories? anything..

You know jettas have a 20+ mile reserve past 0 right?
I have run out of gas a few times, and quite a few times pulled into a station with it lurching.

i would imagine very close. i went about 53 miles after the gas light had went on.

and when i gassed up it was about 17 gallons, which is about the size of a full tank. and usually i get to it at about 15-16 at worst.

One time my friend was driving a bunch of us back from a Rockies game in denver in his Nissan Armada. The fuel light was on on the way up. Well since bitches never throw out cash and there were only two dudes only like $5 was generated from inside the cab. Then we arrive at the station, he goes in to pay, and comes out with two packs of Sour Path kids and proceeds to pump $1.85. Good thing it was a mostly downhill drive on the way home

I drive a TDI jetta and the closest diesel station to me is like 3 miles. I had to skateboard there with my gas can in hand and it fucking sucked so much

I have a digital readout, and have gone 10 miles with no lines of gas. I have heard this isn't good to do on my particular car though because the gas actually cools the fuel pump, and having it bone dry can cause it to overheat. The smallest amount ive put in my tank was like 25 cents when i had a gas card that was just shy of being used up, and i wasnt going to let it go to waste.

I ran out of gas on the Interstate.

I had to pee worse than fkn bad, asked my then bf if he thought it was an awful idea to pee off the side of the road in the trees. His reply, "its not tick season" and my asshole self took his word. As I'm pulling up my pants, hundreds of ticks are crawling up my legs. I bolted out of the woods stripping and screaming 'you fucking asshole!' -- me, him and his friend began flicking and burning ticks left and right, I jumped into the car and checked myself over, and over, and over again. It was the worst 1/2 wait for a tow truck.

Advice, don't run out of gas on the Interstate while having to pee....if you're a girl. Where was my GoGirl then? Bah.
