Several weeks ago, we (I work for a fire department) were dispatched to a "rule out medical" emergency.
We arrived to find a SUV by the side of the road. The blonde thirty-something female driver said that her expensive SUV "just died on her" while she was driving down the road talking on her cell phone to her girlfriend. Since she couldn't figure out what was wrong, she called 911.
We stuck out heads inside, and...
We were amazed that despite all these alerts, the driver still was able to [-]go into deco [/-]run out of fuel.
...seriously. We made the comment that this was one of those calls that if we wrote about it in a book, no one would believe it.
All the best, James

We stuck out heads inside, and...
- the fuel gauge was on empty
- the annunciator panel said "LOW FUEL"
- the mileage panel said "Miles Until Empty: 0"
- there was a little red light on at the fuel gauge
- and there was a little bing-bong noise going off
