I’ve run out of gas in the Prius twice. The first time I was practically driving past a gas station, so it was no problem. The second time I was on I-20 somewhere near the Louisiana border – I didn’t even know where! I thought I had gas for another 20 miles. I was wrong. I had to wait an hour for a tow truck to find me and bring me gas. The moral of this story – do not trust the gas gauge too much.

Too bad our lawn mower is a push mower… the problem was our own stupidity at repeatedly ignoring the low-fuel warning, planning to fill up “next time we’re out.” I blame lack of sleep. :)

Little known secret for low tank of gas: lawnmower gas can in the garage.

At least, it worked for me…

It is soothing to have that “physical measure” of our babies development, especially when we are breastfeeding. Running out of gas in newer cars can really cause problems. A friend of mine with a new Honda Oydessy ran out of gas (sick toddler in this case rather than new baby) and they did have to take it to the dealer and spend a fair amount of money getting it fixed. Good luck on that whole “gas” thing. It is often a theme of new parenting on many levels!

I think it’s great you own a Prius. If I drove more I’d eventually buy one although my car is paid off; the thought of a car payment sucks.

Jamie is growing so fast! :) I couldn’t imagine giving up dairy.

Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
