Out of Gas
How far can you get on a tank of gas?
You know that when the little, red light showing that you’re out of gas on your car comes on, you have a couple miles before your car dies, right? Oh, well, I know none of my readers have ever let their tank get down that far, but, you know, theoretically. But, how far can you get?
Personally, I try never to get lower than 1/4 tank before I’m pointed at a gas station, but, well, with it being payday today, it occurred to me that, sometimes, people don’t have a choice! As cash-strapped as I’ve been over the years, sometimes, I’ve had to think about whether or not to drive someone and spend money on the gas. Thankfully, that’s not quite so true any more, but, I do worry about adding in some padding to my budget to allow for suddenly inflated gas prices.
Still, it is an interesting question, isn’t it?
When you’re down to that last little drop of gas, how far can you get before refueling?
Ponder no more! Instead, go to Tank On Empty, find your car, and find out. Or, at least, find out a fairly good estimate. And, of course, if you are one of those people who like to, or have to, push their luck, add your results to the site to help others!
