When we say “it was one of those days,” chances are you know what we are talking about. A long day at the office, coupled with traffic snarls, political strife at home and abroad, and everything else you need to deal with on a daily basis has run you down, and now all you want is a few minutes of “me time.” But just as you are getting close to home, your gas light comes on. The last thing you want to do is stop for gas, so you drive home and decide to deal with it tomorrow. But is this really good for your car?
You Will Run Out Of Gas
This is inevitable – drive for long enough on empty, and eventually, your car will run out of gas. At that point, you had better hope your cell phone is charged to call a tow truck; otherwise, you have a long, humiliating walk to the nearest service station ahead of you. Instead of dealing with all of that, simply stop for gas when your car requires it.
Your Car Was Designed To Have Fuel
The fuel pump in your car was designed to be submerged in gasoline, and when you drive on E, it can cause misfires and malfunctions with said fuel pump. Any auto technician will tell you that these repairs can be complicated and costly, so to avoid this situation, simply fill up when your car needs gas, ideally keeping a quarter of a tank in the car at all times.
