About 15 minutes prior to landing he says he doesn't have enough gas to go 75 miles to a second airport. He'd already known for some unknown amount of time that FAR was closed.

Brings up some questions -
Why didn't he bingo out when he learned that?
How much gas did he land with?
Did he keep pushing on to FAR and himself into an emergency situation?
Or did he use the threat of an 'emergency', that might have been easily avoidable(?), to land at FAR?

It's only two days ago. The fueler probably remembers the gauge readings.
