[QUOTE="tarbar66, post: 782790, member: 1868"] Back in the 80's an accurate and functioning gas gauge was almost unheard of in my center. Part of the pretrip was a visual check of looking into the tank. Most drivers knew how far they could go on a tank of gas. The big wrinkle was when your car was red tagged and you ran a spare. I ran out of gas at least 10 times in those 10 years, too many rural route miles. I don't recall ever calling in because I didn't want to get a butt chewing. A couple of times I was pushed off the Interstate by another driver. I got a couple of gallons gas from farmers quite a few times too. It helped to be friends with your customers. If getting pushed by another package car today you would probably get charged with an accident for scratching the paint. [/QUOTE]
