ran out of gas

["jerry hesch" <jerryhesch@xxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

I take comfort in the statement that you keep the gallon of gas "buried" in the trunk.  I hope it is sealed so there are no fumes and somehow stabilized deep inithe trunk such that a minor accident would not turn into a Holllywood blockbuster?  Please hear the concern I express, I am not being harsh, just posing the question.  As one of the disabled ones on the list I am an apologist for safety concerns.

Sincerely,

Jerry53-ooops almost typed 63 but that would be nice too!

You're not the only one Matt. The gas gauge doesn't always work in my 1959 Imperial, and I use the odometer to determine when to fill it up. Usually when it gets close to 200 miles I'd better fill, or go for a walk. In spite of this method, I've still managed to run out of gas about four times already, forgetting the type of driving I was doing while on that particular tank of gas. I now keep a small gas can bungied in the trunk with about a gallon of gas in it just in case!
