Default Gas? Gas? Ummm Gas?

Okay, have read a lot here about these things running out with a 1/4 tank on hard prolonged sweepers... I had three or four dots and guess what? Yup. It was like someone flipped the switch and shut her off. She coasted to a stop and refused to give me any love until I had a buddy come by with a gallon and fired her up. All the other people coming by in there super-cars honked horns and generally had a good time at my expense.

The freaky thing was how she shut down, no sputters or jerking just full power and nothing. I thought I had blown something up and then noticed that when it didn't start I was showing no dots on the gauge... how is this so. I never even goit a fuel warning and I look every time I pull out of the garage. I had 4 dots when I left and she showed zero after the stall.

Anyway, I believe you all now!
