I forgot my wallet at home this morning. I drive a 2011 Nissan Sentra. I have to drive about 35 miles or so and only have two lines left on my gas tank. Will I make it home? I know this is a random question, just hoping I can make it!! I’ve never been in this situation (where I need gas and don’t have my wallet)

Most likely, yes. Manufacturers factor in a buffer/"reserve" in the fuel gauge readout. You should have about 30-50 miles at the "Empty" mark.

LOL this is too funny, but I think you will make it. you cant go driving at break neck speed though, do the speed limit. if the speed limit is 60 then do 55, if its 70 just stay in the slow lane and set your cruise control. good luck

if he ran out of gas could he get services from the AAA even if he wasn't covered? if so, would he have to pay up front or could they bill him?

You must have a low fuel light that goes on. No?

You should be fine to get home, just avoid significant traffic delays and maintain a constant speed to maximize economy.

It goes off once I have only one line left. I honestly have no clue how many MPG's my car gets
