as the car is sputtering you hit reverse back on to the embankment and get the rearend up. kill the engine and wait for the carburetor to fill up, hit the starter and get into high as soon as possible, then kill it and roll down as many hills as possible. hopefully you have a fuel station close by.

I was going to procrastinate but I never got around to it!
Confession: I am a progastinator with no excuse except I got a round tuit.
"POP"
Sure would like to have one of those. I usually get around to it sometime.
Richard, to get a round tuit just download the picture, print it, cut a disc the size you want, cut and glue and you will finally get around tuit.
POPS, aka Sam
For several years in the 1990's I worked about 50 miles from home and car-pooled with a co-worker who also lived near where I live. We'd alternate weeks driving. He was the total opposite of the card Wes posted above. As his gas gauge approached half, he'd stop and fill up.
One day I said to him, "Do you realize how much time you waste pumping gas? You drive 26 weeks a year. It takes about 5 minutes to fuel up each time and you do it at least twice a week. That means that you're spending about 4.3 hours a year pumping gas. If you'd wait until it's near empty you could save over 2 hours per year to do something more fun."
From that day on it became a contest between us to see who could get farther below the "E" mark without actually running out of gas.
