That has happened to me once; I was driving on the freeway, on fumes, madly trying to get off the freeway to the nearest gas station, and
I RAN OUT OF GAS!!. The engine quit, but I was still going 55-60 mph (and steadily decelerating). I managed to coast down the exit ramp, go one block to the nearest gas station, and pull into the nearest pump, all on pure inertia, thanks to a continuous steady downhill slope in the road.
YKYBW...
...you save your leftover food and eat those all in one big meal (which my mother said was called "slumgullion", which was a hodgepodge of different "dishes"). I do this anyway, but that's because I don't like to waste any food, not necessarily because I'm broke.
