17 Things You Think When You Have to Refuel

You should have been in the car a quarter of an hour ago in the car but if it goes well, green wave and so on, it might just work out. But then you see a red light come on. And you hear a warning beep. The tank is almost empty. Then you think this.

1. Okay, okay, okay. Why didn't I do that yesterday? I really saw it then and had more time.
2. How long can you drive again when the light comes on? 100 kilometers or 50?
3. 100 right? Right?
4. I can manage that.
5. They must have built in an extra safety net, right? That after the last warning, they surely add an extra shot of gasoline? I mean, they surely won't leave me here in the cold?
6. I know women whose boyfriends fill up their car...
7. There must be a gas station on this stretch, right?
8. Do I actually have my card with me?
9. In South Africa, I was really in trouble. There you can drive 150 kilometers without finding a gas station. But here, surely there is one? Right?
10. Or should I just turn off here? There must be one in a village.
11. How much time do I have left?
12. Drive calmly, calmly, that helps.
13. But then I will be late.
14. Sigh.
15. From now on, I will fill up every weekend.
16. I will take it through the car wash right away.
17. Satisfied.
