Oh boy. It's hard to admit this and I have to say this has never happened
before....

Mike, you were right, I was out of gas! This is mortifying. I could blame it
on being blond but I don't want to offend anyone on the list ;) I could
blame it on the electronics in the dash not being 100% on the money most of
the time. At best it's unreliable. Usually it at least tells me when I have
2 miles left in the gas tank. This time, it didn't or I didn't notice, my
bad. 

That said, I'm greatly relieved that it was an $8 fix (the can of gas) and I
could do it myself, LOL.  

The brake light, (one of the nine little rectangles in the middle of the
dashboard) didn't become an issue when I took the car to the store today.
I'll still check the brake fluid. I need a shot of pessimism (thanks Mike;))
every now and then because I do tend to believe what mechanics say to me. 

Thanks to all who responded. Go easy on me, please, ;))
