Lesson learned...
Let me start off by saying YES i should have known better and YES i make fun of people like me too.
So yesterday I did alot of driving... I also keep track of how many miles I go on one tank of gas (which usually comes out to around 270 when the light comes on...). So yesterday I park it at my house at an amazing 330 miles, but THE LIGHT HAS NOT come on yet, so I am just like sweet, cause I had done a bunch of highway driving yesterday.
When the driveway was all blocked with cars so I parked in the street which has a SLIGHT incline...
Well I am running a few minutes late for the denist today, go out to my car, and FOOOOOOK my car wont start. Got it to barely crank and it died immediately...
Luckily I had some lawn mower gas in my garage or I woulda been foooked hardcore.
LESSON: If your low on gas, EVEN IF YOUR LIGHT HASNT COME ON, dont park on a slight incline, you will be ****ed!!!!

Rep Power: 343 i ran out of gas on my bike the first week i had it, i was testing it to see how far i could go.....i found it how far i could go. To say the least pushing a bike for 5 blocks is not fun. Luckily some guy saw me pushing it and came out with a gas can, bless that man.

Rep Power: 0 Damn, only 330? I've gotten mine up to 460!! Granny driving, and mostly highway, but still!
And yeah, that sucks about our cars. I've had trouble starting it even on a flat surface.
