state police behind me and got towed, yay love fuel starve!

Reading all this makes me count my blessings.

On a recent trip to Vegas, my buddy (driving a 350Z) and I were cruising along from Reno to Vegas. We were chatting over the two-way radios how much gas we had left (distance to empty is very misleading). We thought we had more than enough to make it to the next town. But when the distance to the next fuel stop was greater than what the navigation system calculated, and too far to turn around, we kinda crapped our pants. Off went the AC and found a Uhaul to draft behind.

Fortunately we made, I had less than 1/2 a litre of gas left. I'm glad there were no sharp turns or big hills, otherwise the outcome might not have been so favourable.

Thanks to this thread I'll know to watch my fuel level on sharp right turns.

Cheers.
