I love my wife and all, but Jesus Hercules Christ...

How about the gas thing (for vehicles, not people)? Seriously every fucking time I drive Mrs. Seano's car, the fuel gauge is ALWAYS hovering right above 'E'......WTF.

Ah! It's not just me, then! Seriously. WTF is up with chicks' aversion to filling up the car? My poor brother will come home after a business trip and between his wife and daughter, ALL vehicles are running on fumes. Even the damn ATVs. They run out of gas, then just use another one. Run that one dry too, and hop in the next one. (They have a lot of old farm vehicles) He gets furious. Poor guy. Haha.

Same and now the not quite 17 yo has taken after mom in such a short time.
I’ve already put my head on the chopping block telling them both I’m going to laugh at you hard when you run out of gas.
Drives me absolutely nuts. Just stop at the gas station, this isn’t hard.

Quarter tank means fill up for me. The wife HAS to wait until the gas warning light is on.

Some weird female thing, they need the machine to tell them what to do.

Mine too. Wtf?

Maybe the gas fairy will appear and fill it while they sleep?

[Buzzworthy]

My daughter has actually said to me that she likes when the gas fairy just takes care of it so she doesn’t have to.
Referring to the day before she first drove to school and that dad filled it up the night before and washed the outside.
At least she tells me she’s a good kid

Not just you. I bought the Missus the first brand new car either of us have ever owned a couple months ago. She’s become overly protective of this Mommobile Grocerygetter and parks it as far away from other cars as she possibly can. She bought fancy seat covers so the kids don’t ruin the interior, and has forbidden food from being eaten within, yet seems incapable of using my fuel card to fill the tank more than half full, and only gets gas when it’s an emergency.

I love my GF and she's a very competent nurse, but after dating and climbing for 10+ years she still messes up tying an 8.

Exactly.

My wife believes that every car has an auxiliary tank that kicks in and you get at least 30 miles after you hit E

I never researched it because I fill up at quarter tank.

I once drove my Tundra 33 miles after the light came on because I had no choice. Nerve wracking. How do people drive like this?

[Ted Striker]

Most cars will go 60 miles at their average mpg when the light comes on.

That said, my wife is the same. She'll simply say "my car needs gas" when it's below about 1/4

I've tried all of the smartass answers, but the result is that I'm roped into filling it up 90+% of the time.

[Salvelinusconfluentus]

I hate getting gas. The longer I go with the gas light on the less times in my life I will have to get gas. Every time you can push it a little farther and it does suck to run out of gas but then you know how far you can go.

My new truck tells me how many miles I can go but the lowest I've brought down to is 10. Im not sure how accurate.

Years ago my buddy had mid-90s Jeep GC… one of the first cars with an MTE number displayed. The light would turn on and it would say “30 Miles”, then 10 miles later it would display “20”, then “10”, then “0”, then “00”, then “- -“….. never saw what was after the double dashes.

My wife believes the car will immediately stop when the distance to empty display hits 0. Those things are not that accurate and have plenty of padding, I get at least 20 more miles or so.

Shhhhhhh, dude, I’m tired of being the gas monkey. Take your science to the RatFlu thread,,,,,,,

So, I have never tested my car (Sequoia) all the way to true empty. But the light comes on first, then the "distance to empty" hits zero maybe twenty miles later. I have driven maybe 10 miles past that "zero", and when I filled up, it took maybe 22 gallons. My manual says I have a 26 gallon tank. What's the deal?

[ZomblibulaX]

Ha, my wife is neither too dumb nor too lazy to gas up, she just knows I'm too neurotic to not fill it if it's at 1/4 or below. So inevitably, she has some excuse for me to drive her truck whenever it gets low. Every single time.

Some cars rely on having some fuel in the tank to cool the fuel pump. If you run them near dry eventually the fuel pump overheats one time too many and dies. Ask my wife why I know this.

[old goat]

We were on a freeway approaching a gas station with the next one a long way, basically home. I say we need to fill up. She says no, we can make it. I say, what if you're right. We get home 10 minutes later. What if I'm right? We're calling a tow truck. I still lost the argument.
