In the "goode olde days", when I was driving a Ford, the fuel gauge would fail frequently. I used to estimate the remaining gas by checking their odometer, using the average gas mileage to calculate how much gas is left. If I wanted to be cautious, I would use the city gas mileage to keep from running out of gas. I also learned how roll start the car in forward and reverse, change CV joints, brakes, master cylinders, brake cables, identify electrical problems, replace clutch cables and do body work. That Ford was good for something - an eduction. My next car was a Saab and I never had to any of those thing again.
