The gauge doesnt move, it reads half when it is empty.

I stopped and got gas once while wearing my swimsuit. Filled up then realized I didn't have my wallet. I offered the guy my CB radio and spare tire to hold until I came back, he said "just pay me next time your in town" . That blew me away because most places would have called the cops.
I drove back to get my wallet and went right back and paid him. CB radio, that's how long ago this was!

Nice. I wana get a CB and all that, but my friends say its not necissary because we have cell phones.
But cell phones sometimes dont work and batteries can die fast on some.
I might still get a cb, for emergencies.

I am amased that he dint call the cops everyone I see at gas stations is always checker ng surveliance and such.

CB's are still in that is if u and your friends are all rednecks like me and my friends are driving old lifted trucks around and convoying mini convoys through the back roads blaring country music haha...the only cb I have in my vehicles is in my truck and couple months ago I hooked a ham radio speaker up to it I love yelling at stupid drivers and idiots crossing out in front of me with it

I once ran totally out of gas in my white car (needle was not on correct position).. and rolled downhill to nearest gas pump without engine running, had hard time stopping the car without power brakes :D

I managed to fill up 62 liters(!) of fuel to totally and completely empty tank. Usually when the needle goes under red, I can only fill up 52-53 liters there.

For the Americans....
62 liters = 16.38 gallons
52.5 liters = 13.87 gallons

1 mile an hour over is speeding in the US and I have seen people get ticketed for it.

Yah its technically speeding, but a cop is usually not going to bother pulling over for that.
Here in Ohio the book says 55mph and under a leanincey of 5 mph above and under is alloted. And faster than 55 mph, an allowance of 10 mph both above and under is alloted for the driver to not get points on their lisence if ticketed for it. But you can get a ticket.
I have been going 68 in a 65 past a cop and I was the fastest car, and he never pulled me over. Many times.
Then after I everyones passed the cop, they all speed up again and everyone is zipping by me like they are on fire or something. And my speed never changed.

I only got pulled over one time, and that was because I forgot to buy new stickers for my cars plates. I bought them the next day, paied a late fee, and also paid a 65 dollar ticket. Lol

Wait what? The leanincy for not getting points on your lisence within so much of the speed limit if you get a ticket? Its in the drivers handbook here in Ohio, my friends and I had an argument over it one time, and we went to the bmv to look in the book, I lost because I used to think any speeding ticket ment points on a lisence.
I think I said it wrong anyways, cop can give a ticket for any speeding amount over. But within so much of the limit, depending on the limit, you may or may not get points taken.
Now I am starting to confuse myself. Lol

anything over the speed limit is considered speeding... a cop COULD pull you over and ticket you. yes, you'll only get demerit points deducted over certain speeds, and for other things like wreckless driving... etc.

Yah, I kinda made the mistake at assuming that earlier. Oops.
Usually things are the same or very simaliar, so I assume and forget.
