Who else has almost ran out of gas ⛽?

[BadazzBronco]

On my drive home from @granger... got off at the Salina KS exit only to find a mess of cops and what appeared to be an accident at the toll. Decided to head to the next exit...

Either Ford is lying or CostCo is?

Or you filled the empty space in the gas tank meant for fuel vapor expansion.
Not particularly healthy for the carbon canister in your vapor recovery system if you significantly overfill the tank.

I have done this a couple times in the last year. Sometimes the funds are not there and you have to push the envelope. I have also left home with 220 miles to empty, driven 120 miles, and still had just under 200 miles to empty when I arrived. My commute to work is .7 miles so it throws my mileage off.

If you bought a 60k vehicle, then how are you flush out of cash to even float $5?
The epitome of living beyond your means.

See there's the problem. Buy a $40k Bronco and leave more money in the bank.

Who knows, maybe they bought the stripped down version, either way, they shouldn’t be out of cash to fill the tank. They are doing things wrong imo. Why is it my business to comment? They mentioned it here.

Had it down to 12 to E a couple days ago trying to get through the middle of nowhere South Dakota. It took a hair over 16 gallons to fill.

I tell the Wife, "If the Miles to Empty is not blinking, then there's plenty of gas" as she white knuckles the Grab handle. lol

"Back in the day " which was in 1970 I had a Sportster with a 2.25 gallon gas tank. I went all over the country with it. I did carry a 1 gallon can with me..actually was an old Coleman gas container. That was before 24x7 convenience stores with gas. All that was open at night were truck stops..the old style truck stops. I ran at night a lot during the summer. Only had paper maps...no GPS.
With 120 mile range I never had to push or go for a hike for gas, though I did keep an "oklahoma credit card" rolled up around the sissy bar.
It came in handy a couple of times.
Gas was 30cents. Marlboros were 35 cents and a pack of Bud was 1.25.
And I don't plan on running out in my Bronco.
