I ran out of gas today!

After work today my wife asked me to fill up her tank with gas, which I usually do happily so I can drive the Ody. When I saw she took it over 400 miles I said #@&*! A mile down the road I’m coasting into the Enterprise Rent-a-car store to beg for help.

At least I know how many gallons the Ody will have left on empty - half a gallon. So beware, anything close to 19.5 and your walking!

Just out of curiosity, where was the fuel gauge at? How far below the "E" line? It seems when the needle is at the line and I fill up, it only fills to 17 gallons, meaning that 3 gallons remain. </font>
She usually pushes it below the "E" line which puts it in the 18 gallon range. In this case it was about 1/8th inch down. Way overdue.

I agree 100% on all those reasons. She drives a lot of miles being in sales and has a busy life with the kids so I can understand her "time" issues. Maybe she’s jealous that I can get 475 miles on my Windstar without a sweat! Those 25 gallon tanks are nice. But seriously my main worries are sucking up the "dirty" gas on the bottom and freezing fuel lines with moisture being the last thing drawn in.
