my car ran out of petrol today. pushed it right to the limit deep in the red. thought i'd go about filling it up after group discussion this afternoon. but it wouldn't even start up. it would fire up and then 'put put put' it'd die.
great.
had to go to the gas station and BUY a tin to FILL up with petrol. bloody tin cost 10 bucks and would only fill up to 5 litres. bleh.
i'd always wonder what it'd be like for the car to just run out of petrol and refuse to start up. i read about it in books and watch it being played out in movies. and i'd always think to myself. 'how could these people be so stupid as to drive, drive, drive and then NOT notice that the fuel gauge is heading below the red?'.
well, i guess i'm one of them stupid people. thank goodness the petrol station was just down the road.
this is what i get for trying to wait til it's cheap petrol wednesday to fill up my tank.
exams on thursday and friday. obstetrics and gynaecology. 2 osce stations and one 300 T/F paper. can someone say 'die'?

My car would start, but if I try to push to the limits (ignoring fuel warning), at one point while driving, the car would lose power. Like, if you step on the accelerator it just wouldn't move faster, it just rolls on... but about 2-3 seconds later the accelerator responds back. This happens repeatedly, so thats really the time to look for a petrol station!
stabbing your eyes with the scissors isn't going to help much...would it now....hmm? :)
