Aloha,

Guess I'm not the only one with a questionable gas gauge.
I ran out 3 miles from home and had to have it towed - was
on a steep incline and after 3 runs for gas (1 gallon at a time)
it still wouldn't start so free towing with an auto club paid off.
I learned the hard way that here in Hawaii once back and forth
on the island is ok but twice won't get it. I was using the trip
odometer and figured I might be close but, oops. Bad feeling
when it just dies like that (mine didn't pop or anything, did
die and go again, for a 1/2 mile, then very quiet). I was fortunate - I was
overlooking a mini airport where they were flying model airplanes
so I was entertained while my wife brought gas (3 times then -
enough already!) Oh the memories - in this case hopefully not
to be repeated.

Glad you made it to the station ok - that sounded real exciting!
Also not to be repeated, I'm sure!
