Default Ran out of gas at the gas station

Yup almost made it to the pump but ran out 30 feet away from the gas pump. I couldn't push the truck cause it was uphill and my truck rolled back. I was pissed. I think I have to change my sending unit. I had to call my Dad for some help. Thanks Dad.

I know huh. I had a pocket full of money too. I was pissed then laughed about it cause what I needed was right there. It's like going to the strip club you can look but can't touch even with a pocket full of money.

I once rolled 2 miles to a gas station. I thought I had enough to make it to the next exit, I guess I technically I did, but not still running.

I did almost the same thing once. I was on a road trip across country and tried to stretch it to the next town. I knew I was getting low, but thought I could make it anyway. My truck (the old 91 S-10 with 4x8 enclosed trailer in tow) started to sputter about a mile before the exit. I was able to coast off the interstate, through the stop sign (it was a rural area) and with in about 200 feet of the gas pump. Had to borrow a gas can from the station and put a gallon of gas in my truck to get me to the pump,

I was climbing a steep incline, I knew there was an exit on the other side of the hill. My truck started sputtering so I ran it up until the governor shut it off at 129 MPH. I then coasted over the crest of the hill, down the other side, down the exit ramp, pulled right into a gas station and up to the pump.

A guy walked up to me and said either I was luckiest guy on earth, or I had the quietest truck he had ever seen.
