I've been driving for 6 years now and I have never ran out of gas. Is this really so uncommon that you can safely say that at some point or another most of us have run out of gas?
I keep an eye on my odometer and on the gas gauge and know when it is time to get gas. My car doesn't have a low fuel light warning so paying attention is definitely required.

- MartinCron 15y agoThere's a huge difference between running out of gas (which is bad) and running the car without any oil in it (which is terrible). When I was a child, my mother "bricked" our car by ignoring the oil light and taking us out for a nice drive in the country.
- PotatoEngineer 15y agoI ran out of gas three times when I was first driving; the gas gauge was bad, and would show "half full" when it was dead empty. The odometer was reasonably reliable at telling me when I was about to run out of gas, but I was cheap and didn't want to spend money if I could get the car to go a little further. And yes, I cede all claims of being a car genius.
