The only time I ran out of gas was after I picked up my 68 bug from the repair shop. The tank went from 1/4 to empty in the course of driving 2 miles. The engine died in the middle of an intersection as I was trying to make it back to the repair shop (no gas stations in the area) after starting up from a red light. I used the starter motor in 2nd gear to move the car out of the intersection and off the side of the road. It turned out the metal fuel tank had rusted through and emptied itself onto the road. The repair shop's movements/vibrations on the car must have caused the leak to break loose.
