Maybe it's because most of my cars have never had one. But this really
cracks me up. And I'm sure it's an age thing, too. Anyway, this was
written by a young acquaintance of mine, upon running out of gas...

HELLO? I guess that the age of the idiot light has fostered a whole
generation of mind-numbed robotic drivers.
Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I laugh because I once had a car with
absolutely NO indication of fuel level (1962 VW Beetle: out of fuel? just
flip the reserve lever over to get that last gallon of gas) and had another
vehicle for a while that required that you put a stick down into the tank
to check the level...
