Didn't I watch a Seinfeld episode on this subject almost 10 years ago? The dramatic tension of an almost-empty gas tank juxtaposed with inane observational humor is just so... Well you get the idea. I'm just too bored to finish this.

Granted, you never want to run out of fuel with a diesel because it takes a mechanic to get it started again but I don't let a little thing like that stop me from pressing the line.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14995260386315141412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-12551584925153448092008-12-10T23:59:00.000-08:002008-12-10T23:59:00.000-08:00I really hate getting gas, but I hate the thought ...I really hate getting gas, but I hate the thought of running out more. Rick likes to push it to the limit, with the result that we have been gasless on more than one occasion, resulting in marital tension. He has gotten a bit better about it.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-55920513116000008822008-12-10T15:13:00.000-08:002008-12-10T15:13:00.000-08:00Golly, I love the gas game, too.

And it was all because of you, Jacquie, forgetting to tell us to knock knock knock on wood.<BR/><BR/>beintheshoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-31185939075962928592008-12-10T11:01:00.000-08:002008-12-10T11:01:00.000-08:00I love the gas game.

The closest I got was 23.4 one day this summer.

I have to admit that the lowest number I've read on this dsiplay is 4 miles. Maybe I need to woman up and see what happens if it dips under 1 mile? <BR/><BR/>BethMe, You, or Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159195620327366257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146073139129271180.post-83543282946561741072008-12-10T06:25:00.000-08:002008-12-10T06:25:00.000-08:00Jacquie, You are such a rebel.
