Kilo tank by accident

I got a kilo tank early yesterday morning totally by accident, I had a meeting early in the morning and was running low on gas and was close to the 1000 mile mark. I was looking for a gas station and passed 2 in small towns that were closed because of the time. I hate going this low on gas so was babying because didnt want to end up walking for gas.

1011 miles later I finally drove into an open station and filled. 10.5 gallons into a tank that is supposed to hold 10.9 makes me a little nervous.

You're still stuck in old school thinking
Those 0.4 gallons are good for nearly another 40 miles

Well done, even if it's not been intentional
