What happens if your car runs out of gas?

If your car runs out of gas while you are driving, it will simply stop running. The engine will sputter and die, and you will be unable to continue driving until you add more fuel.

Here are some things to keep in mind if your car runs out of gas:

* Pull over to the side of the road as soon as possible. Do not try to drive on with a sputtering engine, as this could damage your car.

* Turn off your engine. This will help to conserve any remaining fuel.

* Unlock your car doors. This will allow you to get out of your car if necessary.

* Put on your hazard lights. This will alert other drivers to the fact that you are pulled over.

* Call for roadside assistance. If you have roadside assistance, call for help and stay with your car. If you do not have roadside assistance, you will need to find a way to get fuel to your car. You can either call a friend or family member to bring you gas, or you can walk to a nearby gas station.

* Be aware of your surroundings. If you are in a dangerous location, such as a busy highway, stay in your car and wait for help to arrive.

Running out of gas is a frustrating and inconvenient experience, but it is important to stay calm and follow these steps to ensure your safety.
