A Close Call!

I've always wondered how far I could go on a tankful of gas on my Nomad. Well, I almost accidentally found out back in November. My light had come on and I was about 25 miles from a gas station, so I said to myself "I can get there with no problem". I got about a mile from the station and she started missing a little. First time that ever happened. I thought there was an engine problem at first. It didn't miss any more during that last mile. When I filled up, my Nomad held 5.395 gallons of gas. Now that's cutting it close. So now I know how much she will hold, anyway.
