I can imagine that 30 years ago it was probably relatively easy to run out of gas, especially when you think of the gas shortage of the 70's, but what about today? Can any American have a valid excuse for running out of gas these days? (with the exception of my husband who's fuel gauge is broken)
Yesterday I witnessed someone on the side of the road filling the tank of their white BMW station wagon with a gas can. It appeared that someone in a green Ford had given them a lift back to their car.
Honestly, you ran out of gas in a BMW? Not only should it have a gas light to tell you when your tank is getting low, but it is sure to have some computerized voice that informs you in grammatically perfect English that, "Your fashionable European vehicle needs to be refueled in exactly 54.26 miles from the black and white, Grade B dairy cow that you are scheduled to pass on this country road in approximately 3.5 seconds."
It is my belief that you must either be a legally blind and deaf BMW driver, or you're an idiot in an expensive car. I think only the later could get a driver's license, so there you are - an idiot.
