Too much knowledge
I knew my Accord had a 15.9 gallon tank, and that it got 25 mpg. I had also learned that the light came on at 12 gallons, because that's how much I was able to put in it when I refilled it just as the light came on. So I figured I had 100 miles or so once the light came on. At 50 miles past the light, the car started to sputter. At 55 miles, it stopped. I coasted off the freeway, and parked at a hydrant. I ran to one gas station, which was closed for replacing the tanks. I ran to another gas station, which suggested that I buy a gallon bottle of water, empty it out, and fill it with gas! I then called my fiancee, and had her use her car to push my car to that station. Only cost me $300 in repairs to my rear bumper!
Then of course, I am told by a few different people that CSAA (California State branch of AAA) will bring you a few gallons of fuel to get you moving again! That would have saved me some serious money!
