What??

You don't by coffee at the same place you buy gas? I didn't realize you were so hoidy-toidy!!

Mine stopped while waiting for the car ahead to finish filling up.

Dang skippy I am - about coffee and beer, anyway. I didn't really start drinking beer seriously until I went to Europe, and I didn't start drinking coffee until I lived across from a Dunn Brothers. To this day, I figure - if I'm going to drink either one, I might as well enjoy them. So yep, I drink the hoidy-toidy coffee, and the yuppie import and microbrew beer. And I'm dang proud of it.

Mitch, what you experienced is the grandslam home-run, hole-in-one to procrastinators world-wide.

Congratulations and where can I pick up my cigar?

The shocking news of The Shot's coffee namby-pambiness and failure to fuel is breathtaking. How many mochas does it cost to fix a drain?? Is bottled water next??

Repent.

Mitch-

Hate to break your bubble, but, if you drive an older car (like most of us working guys) then letting the tank run dry is a big NO-NO. Why? Well besides containing your fuel, the gas tank (after literally hundreds of fill ups) will acuumulate a lot of extraneous material, ie, corrosion products, dirt, grit, contaminants in fuel, etc, and this debris will settle to bottom of tank (being heavier than gas) - normally this is probabally manageable - but when your run tank dry this "junk" usually gets sucked up into the fuel system and can reek havoc on fuel filters, fuel pump,carbs, injectors, etc.

So I think your good "day" may be short lived when you car starts to run poorly, stutters & conks out on the highway during rush hour due to a plugged fuel filter or worst.

BTW - some prevent defense - change out the fuel filter ASAP & never runher dry!
