When you're driving through unfamiliar territory, it's easy to run out of gas, especially in sparsely populated areas. Hopefully, you've got some extra fuel in your emergency kit, but if it's too old to use or you've forgotten it, you might find yourself stranded. Garrett's Towing & Recovery Service, providing roadside assistance and fuel delivery services to drivers throughout the Triad area, explains what to do if you run out of gas on the road.

A Fuel Delivery Service Explains What to Do if You Run Out of Gas

1. Drive Carefully

If you don't know how far you've got to go to the nearest gas station, slow down to the speed limit to conserve fuel. Driving more slowly does drag out the tension, but it can help ensure you make it. However, once your engine starts running poorly, turn on your hazard lights and look for a safe place to pull over.

2. Find Your Nearest Gas Station

Setting off on foot is a risky proposition if you don't know how far you have to go. If you have data service, look online for your nearest gas station and call a taxi if you can. However, in many rural areas, you may not have that luxury. In these cases, try calling 411 for local information.
