This was actually late last night but I was busy afterwards so I forgot to write it on here.

I drove back to Brisbane last Saturday night, refusing to get fuel on the way just to see if my car could make it to Pitts and back on half a tank. So as I rolled back into the driveway the needle was covering the empty mark on the guage. Then I drove to Ashgrove and back, only 15 minute round trip but it was enough. Sunday afternoon there was a storm so I took my car out and did a couple of laps of the block to wash it but I still hadn't gone to a servo. Last night, Sef needed to borrow my garage and my car was busy sticking out of it so I had to move it. The fuel guage read less than empty but the needle had moved so we drove straight to the Milton Maccas/BP.. Where they had no unleaded fuel. Uh oh!

The next nearest place was a Shell on Coronation Drive but we might not make it. There's no point sitting and waiting for it to run out of fuel and there wasn't enough to turn it off and restart my car so we had to press on. It almost came undone when the turn onto Milton Rd (through the lights) is on a bit of an incline. All the fuel drained to the back of the tank and the intake is at the front... My car spluttered as we took off from there and charged down Milton Rd. We had decided that the best way was to go via Lang Pde.. Through lights at the top of the hill. We had no hope. But luck was with us! The light was green as we rounded the corner and I knew I had to make this light. I shot towards the corner as the light went orange but as we rounded the corner, the car spluttered from the fuel draining to the back of the tank from driving up the hill.

Sef and I managed to coast into the servo where we refuelled and all was right with the world.
Nevermind the greenhouse gasses.
