    If it cost you that much and your auto, it'd cost me double or more.

    Next day, I left Boise, ID with 1/4 tank of gas, heading for Portland, OR. Well, there's a whole lotta nothing out there.... especially not any gas stations. I tried putting it in neutral to coast down a mountain hill, and the engine stalled. I thought it was outta gas, so I ended up here and started walking lol. (let me tell you, a full 5-gallon carrier of gas is VERY heavy after a little while).

    [IMG]IMG_2036-2 by gold94corolla, on Flickr

    Thing is though, I later did the same thing.... shifted into neutral to coast down a long steep hill. Well the engine stalled then, too, even with plenty of gas. So apparently, the car will stall for no reason at high speed. Works fine in neutral when stopped. So when I realized this later, I felt really dumb for carrying that gas for no reason lol.

    That gas can 1) leaked and 2) didn't empty all the way, so I ended up putting who knows what in the gas tank. It wasn't long before the check engine light came on for the code P0430, which I then battled for the rest of the trip until I was able to get home. The CEL probably also has to do with using high-flow cats on the header, so IDK.

    But the leaking gas did a work on my poor tire shine (which wasn't shiny anymore, but at least it was blacker)

    Decided to clean the lights at the gas station

    On my way again, stopped at a rest area for some shade pics.

    Then as I was leaving the rest area, I saw a scenic road to the right, instead of going left back to the highway. Best decision ever to take the scenic route instead lol.

    I have a million pics from the road, so I'll be posting some of those next. But here's the road on a map:

    I can see gold on the side of the road walking with a jerry can lol.


    PS: don't coast down hills in neutral. Definitely puts a bit of strain on a hot trans when the pump barely spins to cool it. And of course braking. But that's easy to figure out.

    Driving out in the middle of nowhere really was something else for me, I've never encountered a situation before where it was possible to run out of gas. I'm used to gas stations every exit, and exits every predictable number of miles.

    I normally don't coast down hills, but the needle was sitting on the stopper for a while, and there was no indication of gas any time soon.

    I thought it was out of gas, so I wasn't trying to break it. Though it would have started right back up lol.

    Well, being stranded out in The Middle Of Nowhere, OR, I wasn't trying to be even stupider by trying to start a car out of gas. It's all good now though!
