How about #133 201 134?

I'm now down to my last 5 gallons of fuel in the car that I'm using. I've
got another 4 vehicles laid up in various places around this city, with a
total fuel capacity of around 60 gallons but containing no more than 2. As
soon as fuel is easily available once more I suspect that every one of them
is going to become brim full. Using the stuff on some sort of cycle basis
might be a pain but I'm not getting caught like this again. The most
annoying thing is that after spending nearly 16 months rebuilding an Ur-q
it's now ready to hit the road once more but I can't get any fuel for
it.......

Mind you, what I saw yesterday evening did almost make up for it - an EVO VI
travelling at an economical 55mph on a piece of road where it would usually
have been running 100+.
