When I was just learning to drive my dad put down some simple no exception rules.
100% of the cost of the operation and maintenance of the vehicle was to be on me. He paid for the insurance and that was it. I was driving a 11 year old (at the time) VW bug. He said if I broke down I could walk to a phone booth and call him. I always carried a quarter for a phone call back then. I never had to make that call.
The one thing he said with absolute rule of law, don't ever call him because I ran out of gas. There is no excuse to be that stupid and he did not think his son was that stupid.
In 45 year of driving I have never run out of gas. I will admit to having been lower than I wanted to be and puckered up until I got to the gas station, but that was long ago. Now I fill up when I get below 1/4 tank.
