Running on Fumes

OK, we are in Clearfield and it is just after 2:00 AM. We made it on fumes and not on the fumes Brian produces. The navigation system on the Passat says we have 0 miles until we need a fill-up. I have never pushed the car this far and I am glad Volkswagen's engineering was up to the challenge. If you have never been to this area of Pennsylvania, the exits are spaced out by 10 miles, so, with 5 miles left on the trip computer we decided to make it another 9 miles to the next exit. In our defense it did not look like there was a gas station at this exit, we were just hoping there would be one at the next. Brian made the call and he would be walking to the gas station if we did not make it. It had been raining too. We made it so no one had to hoof it. In case you are wondering it 400 miles from White Lake, MI to Clearfield, PA.
