Should I stay or should I go?

Given my job and the price of gas, I need to be surrounded by accurate, up-to-date information. However, Bartholomew's -- the Buick -- garish gas gauge gives me a headache.

The light was on, but now I have half of a tank. Wait, I'm stopped at an intersection. Now the engine's dead. Never mind, I still have three-quarters of a tank left.
