Good luck siphoning gas from any vehicle made since like 1998.

Go back inside, get different keys, same thing. Finally the guy at the counter said something along the lines of "Damn, they must have come and siphoned all of our gas again." The 4th truck had like an 1/8th of a tank, finally. Sucks to be that guy, having to deal with people stealing your gas

That's when you rig a fake tank and have them siphon sugar water.

Only if your fuel sender is off... my Mazda counts down to 0 (gives you a bit more at 0 but obviously you don't know how much).
