Batman Explains: How to Order from a Drive-Thru

(YouTube Link)

I had no idea that Batman did this kind of work. Apparently, he has a YouTube channel filled with short educational videos about all manner of common activities, such as reading, converting a .doc file to a .pdf, crocheting, and how to get out of the "friend zone" of a relationship. In the above video, the Dark Knight explains how a drive-thru window functions.

I guess that information is based on a normal functioning gas tank gauge. My first new car, 1963 Dodge Dart GT, I was driving and the gauge read 1/4 full when I ran out of gas. To this day I seldom let my car go w/o filling when it gets to around 1/4 full. My newest vehicle, 2010 Hyundai, has a reading that estimates how many miles you can go. I don't even trust that.

My parents' first Volkswagen didn't even have a gas gauge. When you ran out of gas, you flipped a lever to open the reserve tank. It had a half-gallon in it.

Something else to consider; modern cars have the fuel pump IN the gas tank, using fuel as coolant for the pump. Letting the gas get too low will stress the pump... do that too often and you may need a new gas pump, which means (A) a lot of labor costs to replace the pump, or (B) a new gas tank (or a referb if you're lucky). My advice: don't press your luck, stop and refuel ASAP.
