You are risking costly damage to your car, as well as putting yourself in danger. Running out of fuel is no laughing matter and can be far more serious than having to make either a sheepish call to the AA or a lonely trudge to the petrol station where you will be fleeced for a Jerry can. As a result, six out of ten drivers who run out are from the more optimistic (make that ‘more foolish’) sex. Women, more cautious, suspect the engine will conk out after 24 miles. Every year 827,000 of us ignore the helpful glow of the warning light, run out of fuel and break down Men are the biggest culprits, on average tending to believe that the car still has enough fuel for another 32 miles. Two million drivers even admitted to driving with the warning light on almost permanently, mainly in the hope of finding cheaper fuel.
