Do you have enough to get there? If so, make him pay you.

Last time i broke down was on a dual carriageway. Lucky there was a hard shoulder.
172 quid down with no car till the next day. Luckily inwas only 35 miles away. Had to take a jerry can full of petrol in my old school bag the next day, on a train.

Well i did make it there and back, wanted to see if i could do it all without putting any petrol in so i could keep all the money he paid me... Im not tight honestly.

The needle didn't move when i set off, so im guessing i shouldn't risk it again really ha

Not really. Youre still going to need to fill it sometime and youre going to be 18 miles worth down now.

i used to chance it with the red light on all the time "just one more trip to work and back"

that was til i ran out on the way to work in rush hour and had to leave the car parked up in an old peoples home car park and walk it to work

With my Corsa it wasn't when the light went on you had to worry, it's when it went back off again

One of the corsas I had the petrol gauge didn't work at all.

Great fun in an XE when you get somebody trying to race you. Running out of petrol FTL.

I tried that with my XE. Needle didn't even move, I was at work and had left my wallet at home. Had a tenner on me, and it was a 10 mile trip home. Well, it came down to either getting petrol, or taking a 5 mile detour to Kirkcaldy to get a takeaway first THEN make it home. Lets just say the kebab was amazing whilst I sat broken down waiting on assistance.

Can't be any worse than trying to start it after its been sat for 2 weeks!

Lets just say i think i used most of my petrol getting it to run properly and stop idling at 500rpm!

Mine flashes when it gets properly low

Once that starts I get to a petrol station, not been brave enough to risk it yet
