I ran out once in the Black Widow, in rush hour traffic in the middle of town, and had to coast into the nearest parking lot (Bail Bonds place) and walk to the nearest gas station to buy a gallon of gas and a twenty dollar gas can.

Yeah, the gas gauge read empty, but I had pushed it there before without actually running out. In the car's defense, it warned me, I just didn't speak its language at the time! I had begun hearing a buzzing noise (in retrospect, the starving fuel pump) about a mile before it died, so after that day, I knew if I heard that buzzing noise, the gauge was really empty.
