The magic self fueling car

[teamster1975]

Or so my wife thinks
Phone call about half an hour ago saying that the car was spluttering and going slower, and then cut out.

What does the fuel gauge say dear?

Erm... Empty

Be there in a bit dear, need to find the fuel can & fill it

Give me bloody strength

[neildavies]

Now did you really say 'dear'????

It's like when my wife was stuck at the top of an icey hill in the snow on the phone to me saying "what do i do?"

My head was saying "What the hell are you doing at the top of a hill in the snow?!?"

My mouth said "Try not to worry, I'll be there as soon as I can"


You see, it's times like these that the other half doesn't think of when they criticise us for leaving our clothes on the bedroom floor.

D'OH!

[STALLED]

Thanks Teamy - My fuel light is on and this thread has reminded me to fill up this evening!

Mrs Welly: My stupid petrol light's on again, I only put some in the other day

Mr Welly: How much did you put in?

Mrs Welly: £8.00

The frustrating thing is we live bang in the middle of a 6-mile radius to the nearest of 4 petrol stations in any direction so you always drive past one on the way back home, without fail.

She never has 'time' to stop and fill up though she soooo needs to run out one day to teach her a lesson - a bit like the time she got the knock back at the supermarket trying to use the debit card to buy a weeks shopping without thinking about the balance first

Oh the Joys of being a Husband, the joys........

My significant others Ford Focus grows its own petrol. In 5 years She's never even attempted to fill it up, its one of MY duties!!!

I even said the other day, "would you even know how to put fuel in, in an emergency?" "No" came the answer!!!

[teamster1975]

Now did you really say 'dear'????

Ashamed to say I did, just to let her know I was a tiny bit peeved

Nice to know we all share similar stories as married men!

[STALLED]

Pro: Car now has petrol in it

Con: It cost me $91 - Feckshite.

[Doggy]

We all wish we could fill up for £51.44, (91 AUD)

My wife never puts fuel in the car but then she doesn't drive*

*well, she does indeed possess a driving licence but I think maybe they gave it her just to get rid of her because she drove everywhere at 12kmh as she panics all the time and probably slammed on because a sparrow came too near the road or something. I did try getting her driving in the D8 round an empty carpark but after she'd bounced it off the curb 12 times a security guard came out and told us to eff off. Anyway, seeing how she wields a shopping trolley, this can only be a good thing.

Yup, we're up in the £80 a tank region again at the moment

Why oh why don't the stupid card payment pumps up the limit? Max spen £70, I can't even fill up!!! Idiots!

Sounds like a few members of the farer sex that I know Can't say the same about my Mrs though, the only comment I can make is that she's sometimed a tad impatient and overconfident behind the wheel

My wife doesn't hold a drivers' license, but apparently is a much better driver than I will ever be ... I mean, given the amount of advice and instruction I get from her ...
