Well,
We hopped in the 80 today to go to Lewiston, (33 miles south at the bottom of a big grade) and I notice the fuel light is on. So I asked the
how long it had been on, and she said "just since yesterday"
So...I thought, no big deal, I do this on a regular basis because the fuel in lewiston is about 15 cents cheaper per gallon, so off we went.
About halfway down the lewiston grade, I notice that the cruise control cut out, and I was slowing down. This is at 65 or so on a 9% grade.
So
Option 1. Pull over, tow or walk to gas station.
Option 2. keep rolling to the gas station that is about 200 yards from the bottom of the hill.
I chose # 2 and stuck her in N and of we went with no power brakes and no power steering. It was about 2 miles total, and she rolled right into the station.
The only time I ever ran a fuel injected engine out of fuel was on an old ford 6.9 diesel, and it took me forever to get it started.
I bumped the starter for about 2 seconds, stopped, and then she fired right up on the next hit.
I was impressed.
That is all.
