**Not me, but very close. I managed to get off in the next city and pull into the station.
Funny thing was, my car died just as I stopped in front of the pump. **

Man, same thing happened to me, too. I was living in Fort Collins at the time, and driving up I-25 after visiting my then-girlfriend in Denver. My car literally coasted to a stop in front of the regular unleaded pump at Johnson’s Corners.

Two thoughts, we (I work for FDOT) should have more signs about this along the road, I’ll mention it to the right folks (not that anything will happen, but sometimes, just to stop my emails, they’ll do something I suggest - after all I’m only a lowly Planner, don’t have P.E. (Professional Engineer) after my name, so nothing I say can have value); and, bigger picture, there should be a national standard number - like 911 but for less than 911 situations - for cell phone users to call the local (or state) constabulary.

This planner keeps a two gallon (8 liter) gas can in the trunk of his car – now, that is. BTW, there’s gonna’ be a moratorium on gas stations in the town where I work – seems like every development proposal is for something that has to do with the sales, service, rental, cleaning, and modification of moving things with internal combustion engines, and the elected officials don’t plan on their fair 'burg becoming the next Winter Garden.
