HA! You just reminded me I had something very similar happen... also in a VW.
OK, so that makes it 3 times I've run out of fuel...
Car was an '81 Rabbit, and it popped a leak in a neoprene fuel line while I was driving it. The engine had enough juice to keep running fine, so I didn't know about it while I left I very lengthy trail of gas on the road. Fortunately nobody threw a match, because I don't think that car could have outrun the flame front.
