I grew up in the cornfields of Illinois. The closest gas station was 15 minutes away. My father had to make a few runs to the emergency room when I was growing up (1x mom in accident, 1x toe hit with mall, 1x bullet in my rib, 1x hydraulic oil in my eyes - time to get ambulance out to us and back would be incredible); this is what he used as examples why you should always make certain to be able to go at least 50 miles in any car, at any time.
Something I didn't really take into account when I mentioned I was 'indoctrinated' to always fill at 1/4 tank.
