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

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.

But you made it home.

If you have AAA they’d bring you 5 gallons as part of your membership. No need to tow

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?

I was headed to the desert with two four stroke dirt bikes and ten gallons in cans in the trailer. Made it 80 miles after the light went on and sputtered into a gas station. It is hard on the fuel pump, but I wanted to see how far it would go

I’m always driving it with the light on. My wife fills at 1/4 tank

I’m now wondering if all the GOTOS dudes are just frightened to run out of gas.

Thy dump those red tanks into their main tanks and still run until the lights come on.

Is your wife's car spotless and yours really messy?

He has had "elective surgery" a few years ago and is a non Binary entity now.

My wife hates me driving to the light. Yeah but we're both car messies.

And over here in Europe you can get at least 50km after the light. I think it's some sort of safety mechanism to get to a gas station on the Autobahn. And you actually get a fine (in Germany) if you run out of fuel on the Autobahn because you're not supposed to be stupid here.

The closest I got was filling up about 2 litres below my maximum gas tank capacity.

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.

You are a moran and have never driven a real long highway like 50. But we all know that, the bus station does that for you.

See, you are a dumbass.

How do women handle the electric car thingy?

Is it easier since it’s like plugging in a vacuum?

[anotherVTskibum]

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.

If I'm driving and we're under a quarter tank, my wife starts suggesting I get fuel.

If she's driving her car, she'll ignore the light for days, sometimes until she finds a reason for me to drive it, then we absolutely need to get fuel.

I think I've gone twenty miles past zero on the DTE in my truck, but the more unnerving time was nine miles past while towing a cargo trailer with both the truck and the trailer near or over GVWR, and it course I was in an unfamiliar city and the first gas station Google suggested wasn't accessible with a truck and trailer due to construction.

I will note that range can change drastically with terrain; when I lived in proper mountains, going south meant climbing 5k feet within 20 miles or so. On the motorcycle, a quarter tank of gas lasted a lot longer headed north than south.

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.

Ha oh man basin, that’s brutal………

Hey, this is the bitch about YOUR wife thread, not the “be a sexist douche” thread

[MagnificentUnicorn]

So my wife has been waiting on a Bronco Sport that's been on order since March and originally supposed to be available in May. Now the projected delivery date is Christmas Eve and she reached the "f*** this" level necessary to go find one that's close enough on a lot.

Having waited since March, you'd think we could take our time (while being aware that stock is limited). Nope. Had to figure out out immediately.

Ugh, okay. That then raised the possibility that we were going to be taking her car in for a trade, so on Sunday I tried to get it clean. Multiple hours later, I get yelled at for taking too long. Clearly my fault and not a result of her never cleaning anything up in the interior, to the point where she'd thoroughly ground dirt into the driver's side carpet, spattered coffee everywhere within a foot of the cupholders, etc.

I'm making sure the new car has big floormats from day one.

Of course, then we ended up finding what she wanted far enough away that I didn't want to drive the used car over and then need to negotiate value, so instead it's sitting in the driveway and I get to sell it on the internet.

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?

I'd guess your DTE hits 0 when you have ~4 gallons left. Be very careful with this information, automakers (correctly) think most people can't handle the truth.

Exactly. I'm not the one eating the thing, thereby it's expressly forbidden for me to cut the tags off.

[old goat]

But I made it home.

Says the guy who went skiing BC on a avy forecast level 5 day. (FIFY) Risk vs reward. Risk vs reward. Besides which, when you make it home with a nearly empty tank, you wake up the next morning and forget you need gas and you're late for work anyway and you run out of gas on the freeway. In the left lane.

So in an effort to save 5 minutes at the pump, one would risk sitting on the side of the freeway on a hot (or arctic) day, waiting hours for roadside assistance to come rescue? Solid logic there.

You know AAA isn’t insurance right?

They do have an insurance division but that’s separate from road service.

Yes I used to work there years ago (not insurance sales)
