AA Rip-Off

21 pages in one day, my thread is a success. Look at sasguru, he starts a thread, he gets insulted a few times then it dies pathetically, mirroring its owner.

you're gonna need a bigger amount of insults. about 205,100

I wouldn't go using sasguru as any form of benchmark, unless you are considering playing the dunce card to an almost obscene degree.

I didn't actually run out, I still had some in the tank.

WTF???

Not enough to get to closest petrol station

Not enough to get to closest petrol station

How do you know? Fuel guages are not high precision instruments.

Or do you run out of petrol frequently?

Did you really, really, ring up the AA to say "I'm getting low on petrol"?

Did you not think to ring directory enquiries or text AQA to ask where the nearest open petrol station is? You may have been able to get there.

It was 20 miles away, I had it showing 4 miles, I didn't want to drive and end up stuck in a b road , I was at a big car park. There is usually a petrol station or two in these towns but they happened to be closed , no one knew why.

Exactly, but to these guys, checking their petrol levels every minute and planning out there journey military style, with 5 contingency plans is about as much stimulation as their minds can handle.

I'll remember that next time I file a Flight Plan without fuel for a diversion and 45 mins reserve!

Don't be too hard on yourself. sasguru has been an idiot trying to justify his viewpoint for almost 20k posts now.
