"It happens"

i think we all have pushed it and ran out of gas at least once in our lifetime. so why not put a 2 gallon reserve tank as an option. just like a motorcycle. be a nice thing to have, dont u think?

Driving with the fuel light on is a good way to overheat and ruin the fuel pump. It uses the surrounding fuel to pull heat away from it. When it is that low, it will get hot!!

I say just bungee a gas can in your bed. If you run out of gas there ya go. Plus, stranded people will pay quite generously for being a good citizen.
