I would like to preface this post with the fact that I'm an idiot. I know. Seriously, I'm retarded.

I haven't been checking my gas meter lately, and this morning I get into my car and it won't start. I find that I'm out of gas. Out, arrow is like at the bottom. I'm thinking about going to the gas station in my friend's car and filling up a 2 gallon jug with gas and pouring it into my car. Any other suggestions?

Man, I'm dumb. Been driving for like 6 years too. :(

I'll have "put more gas in the vehicle" for 100 please.

Unless your car is special and runs on tears or cookies, in which case you might have found a gold mine.

maybe, but some cars get damaged when you completely run them out of gas, so i doubt it is worth it, you should get the container.

1. Get really long hose
2. Attach one end to the pump
3. Go in and give the guy about 5 bucks
4. Go back to your car and start pumping
5. ...
6. Profit?! :confused:

You run it completely out of gas and you risk sucking up all the sludge and grime off the bottom of the tank and damaging your engine and/or fuel system.

My suggestion is that you just push it to the station, why waste your friends gas. :confused:

Siphon the gas from your friends car and drive to the station. Then when he is empty and needs a ride to the station just laugh at him.

It is best to not let you tank go below 1/4. In tank fuel pumps use the fuel to keep them cool. You out a lot of wear and tear on a fuel pump by running it low. So if you are near or at the 1/4 mark that means fill it up, not play "lets see how far I can make it before I look like a idiot" game.

I've heard good things about alcohol as a fuel source. A 1.75 L bottle of cheap-ish vodka should get you to the station.

You need to let it warm up for an hour or so before driving to the station just to make sue it's got enough gas to get you there! :D

Oh well, don't be too hard on yourself OP...sh!t happens! :)

Time to cross "let car run out of gas" off the list of idiotic thing's I've never done :(

Pretty reassuring to know that if I followed half the instructions given to me by you guys I'd be either dead or in prison :laugh:

Wait a sec, the gas station is a quarter mile away? If you run you'll get there in less than 2 minutes :confused:

Gas stations should have a 5 gallon gas container for sale. Buy one and fill it.
