I once ran out of gas on the freeway, called AAA and paid $5 for 2 gal of gas (this was about 8 yrs ago). Tipped the driver another $5. 10 Dollars is pretty good deal for not risking being run over.

You do that around the Baltimore or DC beltways and drivers might just speed up and change lanes to make your task even more interesting.

Not that we have discourteous drivers on the other coast or anything.
