Adaptive Procrastination: Example #8,937
Some people may believe in that archaic notion of erring on the side of caution when it comes to utilizing the filling station, but those silly folk have a lot to learn. See, adaptive procrastinators such as myself wait until the last possible second/last possible mile, thereby leaving more room in the tank (and increasing productivity!) for when we do fill up. This allows us to make fewer trips to the gas station, unlike those poor suckers who waste tons of time at the Shell station or what have you every time the level hits a quarter tank.
Nice to see I’m not alone! In my car, the empty zone comprises of 3 red dashes; the engine will run for a solid 10mins (@55 mph) with the needle extended past the third. So to those occasional passengers who find this practice imprudent, may this post disarm any concern, you’re in safe hands.
