That leafy funnel is amazing
My Yamaha Nouvo once choked going up the ramp of a basement parking garage. It took me a moment to realize I had run out of gas. I didn't really consider any other options but to push the scooter up the ramp and down the street until I found a gas station. Fortunately I went the right way and found one a few blocks down the road. This was in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam so shoving a scooter down the road wasn't as attention grabbing as you might think. I did feel like a total muppet though.

After many years and much experience at pushing cars that are out of gas, I am now one of those people who start looking for a gas station at 1/2 of a tank left. We have had occasions when we were nowhere near a gas station when the gauge hit the 1/2 mark, and by the time we found a station the gauge had been blinking for quite some time.
There are actually some back roads here in Georgia that don't have any gas stations. Sometimes you can't even get a cell signal or a GPS signal. Talk about scary!
