I drive around with my car on empty, but I have a hybrid and know that there's a gallon or so left when the empty light comes on, so I can drive about 40 miles that way.

I cannot believe how loud the music festival is across the effing Mississippi River. There's an echo, but I can hear it pretty darn clearly. That's what I get living four blocks from the levee, I guess. Seriously, though, I assumed it was four or five blocks away, not in freaking Gretna.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

I totally do, but then I like to live dangerously.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

I do, but I have about 3 gallons left in the tank when it comes on. Depending on what kind of driving I'm doing that will generally last me 3-4 days before I have to gas up.

I decided tonight was the night to use this facial treatment sampler I got from Sephora, and it said it's like a spa peel thing, but....ow.

My hybrid starts talking to me when I have 50 miles left but I tend to ignore until it is under 10. I once had a car with dual tanks and I ran out of gas with that car more than any other. I always figured I had a bit in the other tank.

My step-dad says you should always keep it near full to minimize evaporation and save a bit of gas. We clearly are not related.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on? I...feel like I live dangerously now. Then again, mine comes on when I still have an eighth of a tank.

I sure don't. My car tends to use gas pretty steadily from full down to 1/4 of a tank, but the needle is prone to stock market-esque drops past that point. I've gone from 65 miles of estimated fuel to the low fuel warning light on a 7-mile drive from work to home.

Timelies all!

I was driving with the low fuel light on all last night.(My fuel gauge has a tendency to go down quickly once it gets past 1/4 tank. I was also on a tight schedule, so I couldn't stop for gas at any point.) Luckily there was enough to get us home.

Research tidbit via Laura Hillenbrand:

Fun with World War II: On the coast of Britain in June, 1944, a little British ice cream truck took a wrong turn and got caught up in a stream of tanks and other war vehicles being loaded onto ships for the massive D-Day invasion. Unable to get it out of the way, the Americans loaded it onto a ship. On D-Day, amidst the carnage, the little ice cream truck rolled onto the beaches at Normandy.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

Sure, I walk around hungry all the time! Then I get home and top myself off with a Green Machine smoothie.

My life is quite full enough with disasters that have no warning lights.
