I'd like to think that we have all done this at one time or another (or at least that's what I tell myself to feel better). I once drove from western CT to northern NY like this. After a hard turn on an entrance ramp, my oil light went on. Smoke everywhere when I popped the hood. I was down 2 qts! Fortunately, I had a quart in the car and was able to get to the next gas station OK. I felt like a complete idiot, and never made the same mistake again (as I'm sure the OP won't either!).
