Help from a Chevy Truck

[SnakeEyeSS]

so on the way to church a guy broke down in a contrustion zone, really messed up traffic. I plan on fliing up at 120 miles on the tank, I thought I had enough to get back home even though I got stuck.....somehow my memory was waaaaay off, and I had drifted into the next 3rd digit on the odometer without noticeing...as soon as I exit the high way on the way home it died.....no one I knew was answering their phone(most were still in church)....so I'm just sitting there like a moron under the highway's bridge not helping traffic much as I'm right in the way. luckly a guy in a 99-02 Silvy stopped and asked if I needed a hand. I told him I was sure I was out of gas, and that was the only problem. He said he had a few gallons in the back of his truck!!!! so put it in and after a while of cranking it fired up. I tired to pay him but he said "no, that's okay, I just hope that if I run out of gas someone would be there to help me!" I of course said Thanks a few dozen times.

 

When I get home after filling up at the station, I checked the mileage....I thought I was at around 100 miles and I was at 200 on the tank.....whoops..... So good news is during the engine break in it's getting around 1-2 MPG better(up to 8.4-9)

 

 

I had been wanting to run it to fumes to make sure I had an 18 gallon tank, this confirmed it, lol. but this car has NO warning your out or low (beside fuel gauge which I still haven't gotten around to grounding properlly), it ran like a champ then poof, died, not even a real sputter. Gonna be more careful now.
