Missed it by That Much.

So, i was on a job the other night and a just as i'm about to drive home (a distance of about 50km or so) i noticed the fuel light come on. Seeing as the next place to fill up wasn't until i was back in town i figured i would chance it and hope for the best.

All the way home i'm super wary, trying to notice any splurts or splutters or any indication that i'm just about to run empty but there were none. So as im chewing up the km's and getting closer to my salvation i started to relax a little thinking that i might just make it. Mind you, i wasn't so confident as to drive through the tunnels. A slightly longer route was prefered, just in case.

I see my destination.
I round the last roundabout.
I cruise into the forecourt.
No worries now, i'm here! I've made it!

Have i fuck!

Conked out 10m from the bowser.

Was trying to figure out whether it was good luck or bad? Bad luck that i ran out? or Good luck that i ran out so close?

Good luck i reckon. Could've been a lot worse.
