My fiancee's annoyed at me for this, but I feel like I made a nice +EV play.
The other night I'm coming home late and I'm about to run out of gas.
I live in the sticks so no gas stations open for 20 miles and obviously the love of my life used up what we had in the extra gas can.

So, since I'm a AAA Plus member I get free gas. So I pull over, call them and lie that I ran out of fuel.
Wait about 40 minutes, get fueled up, drive home.
Admirable in its practicality in your opinion or pathetic to lie and be so cheap?

What's funny is I almost forgot to turn the engine off when the guy showed up; that would've been awkward :)
 
Well if you think you could've made it home without being stranded, it comes down to the theory of time equaling money.

How long did you sit there for waiting, and how much money does it cost to fill up your tank?
 
He said he waited 40 minutes for the gas to show up Moldy.

I am going to have to go with none of the above. Waiting 40 minutes for a couple of gallons of free gas is not worth it to me. I would of taken the chance to get home as I value my time more. Worst case I call AAA anyways and get my free gas then.

I am not going to call you a loser for it so choice #2 is out.



By the way I am curious about one thing. If you were being cheap, and you have to wait 40 minutes for AAA to arrive with the gas, why was the car still running? Does that mean you sat there for 40 minutes with the car on? Surely you could of made it home then :grin:
