Worst night ever? I remember one night when I locked the keys in my running car. I got out to clean the buildup of snow on my wipers. Force of habit to lock the door when I get out of the car and not thinking. Anyway, winter, -10C, snowstorm, gale force winds, 11PM and a 2 mile walk round trip back to the GF's house to get her car key. I only wish this could have happened in a warm climate like Florida. Hope you get the fuel gauge sorted out. BTW, that was only your worst night up until now. There will be worse.

Were you making a hard right-hand turn?

Fuel starve sucks for sure.

:rofl2: Certainly wasn't the Z, but still... I'd be pissed if that happened.

But it's funny now.

I had something like that typed up, but gave up.

Sorry about your bad luck! I always reset the trip to zero when I feel the gas tank, I know how many miles I can go with gas of tank and when it gets to qtr mark I fill up the tank
In the city driving I can go around 280 miles when it gets to qtr tank and that is pretty accurate each time maybe few miles up or down!!

Chuck33079 03-04-2014 07:28 AM

This is most likely fuel starvation, not him running out of gas.

On the bright side it sounds like you got a nice workout walking to get gas

As others stated do a little research on fuel starve.

kenchan 03-04-2014 09:03 AM

Mr&Mrs 03-04-2014 09:06 AM

Only turn right while driving backwards.
