Default Well today sucked

First of all i spent the whole day worrying with the weather and my plans for tonight. taking the ex to eat at my restraunt i was really excited. so after the first storm hit s-field i didnt think much of it. so i go to pick her up and take her to dc, i knew i needed gas and i hate being at the e line. go figure the storm knocked out pretty much every energy source and no gas station within 10 miles has power to the pumps so, no gas!!! and to make matters worse everywhere theres traffic. luckily she had gas and we took her car. pulling up to the gas station at 145 in the morning they are finally back on and was pretty much completely out of gas pulling up to the station. all i have to say is fuel rail return FTMFGDW!!!

I have a KC-135 on speed dial. Whenever I get close to running out of gas, I give it a ring, and he refuels me, while I'm driving.


Baller? Yes.

If it makes you feel better I wiped out on the shiny marble tile at work yesterday. Twisted my ankle and hit my elbow and spilled my cup of tea all over myself.

I averaged 270-290 miles per fillup when I was N/A (city driving). Filling up 14.5 gallons each time the light turned on. Our cars are equipped with 20 gallon tanks so theoretically, you can drive another 100 miles.

There is a avg mpg thread somewhere on this forum: people have gotten 380 miles avg. in other parts of the region... certain lucky guys even got 500-600 miles driving cross country! (dont ask me how they did it, it's still a mystery to me even till this day)
