I started to miss my late mother in law

she will read the fuel gauge whenever she is in our car, anything lesser than half, she will remind us to pump petrol, every 5 minutes

I still remember during one of out trips to Malaysia, she started from KL, all the way to Melaka until I filled up the tank

She probably learn the hard way

I also kena once as a kid up while in Malaysia. Sat in car for 3+ hours. To this day anything less than 1/4 tank I start look for pump

Maybe it's time for you to be "not contactable" or busy in such situation and let her solve the problem..... Then she will lean her lesson. You are spoiling her! 

 

But then, be prepared to sleep a few days in the living room if you follow my advice. 😉

Cannot blame him, I do that to my wife too

Actually when the readout shows low fuel there's still about 50km left in the tank? Or 30 if you want to be safe.

When I drive, my wife and my son are most nervous about the amber fuel indication  whereas my eldest is cool and confident that dad knows what he's doing.

I am the nervous type, i would not drive until low fuel light to lights up. Happened once and sway sway got stuck in a heavy traffic, i got so stress up and anxious. 😅 I always top up at half tank, also dont know why that time can drive until low fuel lighted up?! Lol.

The fuel pump uses the fuel to cool itself.

If always drive till empty then it will overheat

and spoil faster

You are lucky the petrol ⛽️ station people helped to push ….. this days the car want to put into neutral also not so easy like the olden days manual cars as the electronic brakes need to release ( akin to hand brakes ) 

Not your wife fault …. So much instrumentation on dashboard until Blurr also sometimes

I believe many people dont pump tyre pressure, even for guys. Some people can drive until tyre ‘flat’ and say tyre kena nail. 🙄

Maybe some people from young  till old, and before married and after married also got people take care of them, so they would depend on others to do it for them even for small little daily task. Example charging own handphone?!

I have a woman colleague before married got mother to take care everything, from housework, cooking and even washing clothing. Then after married stay with MIL, and MIL take care everything again. She only knows how to work and earn money. 😂 Some people are born to have a good life.

There r 3 types of people : 1st type is heck care and always run into low fuel indicator light up or phone batt dead situations. 2nd type are borderline OCD in maintaining a full tank/full batt all the time. The 3rd type actively monitors what's left and usually tops up at 50% remaining or have a certain regular routine based on usage. 

 

You would think that the 3rd type would be the most common as it is the least drama and least effort. In reality, totally opposite.
