Buy a gallon of milk, pour it out, fill with gas


I did this once with a gallon of windshield wiper fluid. I think it was two dollars. The gas can was about $15.

Ida.

I did buy conversion kits for my 5 gallon cans to put them back to the normal spout and vent instead of the new epa bullshite.

About 10 years.

First couple of months of having a new vehicle and I ran out of fuel.

Mea culpa.

Only had to walk about 1/2 mile to a C-Store/gas station to get it.

Never. I know how to read my gas gauge and can plan ahead.

Last summer my tank went empty with it saying 13m to empty. Had to walk from Napoleon to the gas station on Claibourne.
Then two weeks later it did it again with 18 miles left. So that time I just filled an empty rum bottle with gas and it was enough. Now I don't go below 25m left to empty.
I think it's because my car calls for 93 but I detuned it to run on 87.

I can’t say I have ever done this. Every hurricane leaves me with a half dozen extras.

I have a 1 gallon and a 5 gallon can. I bought both of them 32 years ago when I bought my first house. Have no idea what I paid but they both have the old school nozzles on them and not the new shite.

Two weeks ago, it’s trash with the environmentally safe spout.

Who buys a gas can from a gas station?


One of my coworkers.

He picked me up at the airport in Atlanta and ran out of gas just as we were pulling out. One of the maintenance guys driving a truck picked him up and took him to a gas station. He came back with a full new can.

He’d better be a genius is some field and not in charge of logistics or project management….

never run fuel lower than a quarter tank
it cost less to keep the tank full as it does to keep it empty…
