Not wanting to fight getting back onto the freeway, and wanting the cheapest fuel I could get, I decided to drive most of the way home on the low fuel light. When I turned into the station, the car died and I coasted to the pump. The trip meter rolled exactly to 500 miles as I came to a stop.
Nice! I ran out of gas in my CBR 250R pulling into a gas station, but I did have to push it 40 feet or so. Filled 3.3 gallons of the 3.4 gallon tank.

Oh and maybe you should reserve your fuel stunts for the way back home..
