25% of the cost of fuel in Canada is Tax. In that, we pay tax on tax.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
I have heard the engine will misfire if you allow it to run out of gas like that. Is that true?

Personally I don't mind about use tax. What I mind about is income tax.

We all have it cheap here compared to the rest of the world. I have heard that, based on current exchange rate, a gallon of gas in Italy is around US$9. Locally here in Indiana, the price was around $3.60. Then all of a sudden two days ago, it jumped up like crazy. As always, goes up quickly, comes down slowly.

Hahaha...Literally pushed it huh? That's my worst fear. Nothing worse than the embarrasement of pushing it too far and having to get out and push a 75k car to the gas station.

I don't know if it's technically a misfire. It's out of fuel, so of course it stumbles, but it's not like it's timing that's off or anything. FYI the CEL did flash on. Probably a P0171
