history: I ran out of gas while traveling across state and had no idea where I was. I once ran out of gas in my car while traveling across state. I had no idea where I was at the time. It was pretty scary. I've done that before.. it gets super dark on the highways and you don't realize it till you don't have any lights shining.
current: Yeah, it can happen easily. I blame myself for not keeping a better eye on the gas gauge.
next: I had a similar problem where my car overheated in the middle of nowhere.. so you never know.. anything can happen
