I wonder what noise the engine would make as the last few ounces of gas empty out of the tanks, through the carb, through the valves into the cylinders ...


You know, like how the car engine spurts and sputters as it's gasping for the last few drops of gas in the tank and the car begins slowing and you start looking for a good place to coast over to the shoulder and stop.

Eyewitness: "Just before the car coasted to the shoulder and stopped, I heard a 'surging engine noise'."

Expert Investigator: "That's not possible. The engine could not have been making a noise because the gas tank was empty."





(The criticism of eyewitness reports is not without basis, but this doesn't serve as a valid example.)
