Moose,
Great answer.  Thanks,  I think that is what I was asking.  I've never driven a keyless car.  It's hard to imagine a car without a key.     At least for me.
The person that owned the Cady had stopped by to show me the new-to-her  new car.  As an after thought she said she had an appointment with the dealership to have the check engine light checked.  She told me the story about the 1st time she rented a keyless car.  She went to an out of town friend house.  When she got the, she got out of the car and went inside.  No Key.  So she didn't think a think about it.  Then next morning she went out there and the car was out of gas.  It ran from about 5 pm till some time in the morning when it ran out of gas. 

Thanks again.  I'll try to remember that next time I run into that.
JohnT,
