Firefly 8 Out of Gas

Published: Nov. 3, 2021, 3:57 p.m.

b'I almost ran out of gas getting to the gas station the other day.
\\nSo I’m pretty sure I have a 10 gallon tank and somehow the other day I put 10.2 gallons in my car. Either I somehow have a larger tank or I overfilled the car. Or, by some miracle, my car was literally running on fumes. Look there must be a simple explanation to this but for some reason I choose to believe the most fantastical. It’s Out of Gas, written by Tim Minear and aired on October 25, 2002
