traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,252 Points:538,100 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Jan 26, 2013 11:00:01 AM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse Ever run out of gas in a cruiser? That's embarrassing! And the jerk attendant at a nearby gas station wouldn't loan me a gas can. He could only SELL one of those cheap plastic ones--at about $7.50. The station owners know they've got people in a desperate situation. Then I had to put a few gallons into the cruiser, in uniform, and pay cash out of my own wallet. At least I didn't get a call during the mess. ("Hey, Operations? I can't respond to that crime-in-progress. Got a little problem here....")

Left the wife and kids in the travel trailer we were towing and hitched to get a can of gas. When I got back a Jeeo gull of soldiers were guarding my truck and trailer and gave me hell for "abandoning" her. Told them I did so in front of the safest place in the USA, and fetched them a cold dozen from the cooler. Everyone was happy.

MertieMan Champion Author Lexington Posts:14,798 Points:2,897,560 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Jan 19, 2013 7:19:56 AM Ignore MertieMan Report Abuse This happened to me when I was driving someone elses vehicle recently and the gas gauge said it had 1/4 tank of gas in it, but I ran out and had to walk about a mile to get my truck and go put some gas into this piece of junk. It was cold that day and I had a light jacket on which caused me to become very chilled in the process of doing this. I usually don't drive other individuals vehicles and I certainly don't want them driving mine. A lot of people don't maintain and keep their vehicles with at least a 1/2 tank of gas in them like I do.

General Gas Talk is for general talk about gas stations, fuel, oil, etc. Maybe this would be a better topic, and it's just a suggestion, in the Off Topic or Just For Fun discussion categories.
