I'm Awesome
In case anyone was wondering how many gallons fit in the tank, I declare 25.915 gallons!! Also a truck doing about 55 mph can coast in neutral about 1/4 mile on a two lane flat road
So I had the kids and wife in the truck. We were running late to church, nothing new, so I didn't stop on the way to get gas. On the way home I really wanted to make it back to my favorite gas station serving 91 non oxy fuel. Every gas station we passed the wife mentioned stopping. I kept going, closely watching the gauge. Well about 5.5 miles from the station I wanted to get to, the truck did a quick stumble, I looked down and she was already shut off. I quickly slipped into neutral and kept coasting as I could see a random station in the distance. Two lane road, hazards on, I kept coasting. Closer and closer to the station, cars passing, my wife says pull over. I say no way I would lose momentum. She had no idea I was planning to make it to the station in front of us. Right as we were pulling into the parking lot, about 3 mph, I opened the door and started pushing. After a few steps the wife caught on and jumped out as well. We pushed the truck across the parking lot up to the pump. With great excitement I looked at the pump and saw it carried 91 non oxy! Score. I'll just call that little exercise a team building activity
