You're not surprised when I stop for gas with 1/2 a tank but you're shocked about this? Has our whole relationship been a lie? I feel like I don't even know you!

you really stop for gas with half a tank? my high school basketball coach did this because he was scared he would run out of gas if we had another earthquake. youre the 2nd person ive heard of doing this.

In 2003, Hurricane Isabel hit Richmond Virginia. At the time, I lost electricty, running water, and cell phone and land phone service. It would eventually take more than 4 weeks for all of this to be restored. Since I had no power, no running water, very little food, and no means of contacting the outside world, I attempted to leave the day after the Hurricane and drive up to NY to stay with my family. I only had a quarter of a tank of gas. Most of the roads were out, and there wasn't an open gas station for 100 miles (the power outages were ridiculous). I very very nearly ran out of gas on the side of the highway, just south of DC, when I finally found an open gas station. Since that day I have never let my car get below half a tank of gas.
Keeping your car at above half tank level is not necessarily nitty.

It should be noted that we were planning to stop at a liquor store less than 50 miles away and we were in a Honda Civic.
