curses,
ran out on monday, used my emergency can, put £25 quid in the tank and thought 'thats a hell of a lot of petrol'
turns out its not as much as i thought.....
this time of course my can was empty (see above....)
great, a two mile walk later...........
oh, and it started raining!
i really must fix the damm fuel gauge in this!

never mind the fuel gauge, someone's squashed it!
oh, and 3 times on my walk to go sledging, buggers in cars sprayed me in very wet slush as they drove past - all over me, Robin in the sledge I was pulling, and Innes in his pushchair. Can't imagine none of them saw us?
I wouldn't have minded a bit of rain on a road with no traffic!

I know that feeling only too well
My last "Long walk" was 3 weeks ago, turned out to be a broken crank in my CCC.

You are lucky.... with all the corner on the british little road, you run out petrol in a stray line

ouch, that must have been a proper head down, hands in pocket slouching walk - the 'thats just cost a fortune walk'
mine was more of an embaresed walk of shame!

Last time I ran out of petrol was when the pykies nicked it.

I remember when Rich used to take the pi55 of me "always" running out of petrol. I did it twice in 2 years

I've run out of petrol once... was very late at night at the bottom of a hill just before my folks house... I had to ring round my mates Dad's at midnight to try and find some fuel... I had a girl in the car who I shouldn't have had in the car...

Glad to see that I am not the only one....
I had this problem yesterday.
I did a little test run in my village and it happened......
