I was riding shotgun with my wife-to-be when her pickup truck ran out of gas. This happened about 50 feet in front of a gas station so we coasted right in. While I was filling it up I asked her how long it had been since she filled it up last. She said right before she picked me up. Sigh... This had been going on for some time and she thought her gas mileage was starting to get really bad. Heh, I bet....

Her fuel pump was hanging off the engine block by a few threads of one bolt. 95% of the gas was being pumped to the pavement. After fixing the problem the fuel economy improved dramatically over the .05 mpg she was getting.

She's sharp as a tack about pretty much everything else. Cars? Not so much.

The continual smell of gasoline around her car didn't cause her any concern???
