PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

I have a question. This isn't a knock, legit question.

A car like a Saab would average about 2 gallons a day at idle, idling constantly. It would have at least a 12 gallon tank or so.

I would assume they idled the car much more than we would be led to believe if they ran the car out of fuel, completely.

Why drain the fuel completely? Granted they would have burned some fuel driving to the point where they stopped, but undoubtedly they had a full tank to start with since they were trekking out into the unknown and had just came from an Interstate exit.
