Riding on E Ep.116

from Drive Time with Matt · host Matt Smith

🚨 WARNING: This episode was recorded with less fuel than recommended. Why is it that every time I get in my wife’s car, the gas light is on? Not “getting close” to empty. Not “you should probably stop soon.” I’m talking about running on fumes with hopes, dreams, and a prayer. In this episode of Drive Time with Matt, we’re tackling one of life’s greatest mysteries: Why do some people treat the gas light like a warning, while others treat it like a challenge? We’ll discuss the mythical Gas Fairy, the strange urge to see just how far we can go after the gas light comes on, and why every driver suddenly becomes a mathematician when the dashboard says “12 miles to empty.” If you’ve ever coasted downhill to save gas, turned down the radio because you thought it might help, or confidently said, “I know my car,” this episode is for you. So buckle up, check your fuel gauge, and let’s find out why so many of us insist on living on E.
