Disagree all you want, I never said such a thing.

I don't know what age person you are, but as you relate your story, you apparently were willing to risk running out of fuel, rather than being safe when on the road. This put others' lives and safety at peril, whether you realize it or not. I learned my fuel level lesson when a very young man, and 180* changed my ways. I hope this situation that I believe you stated as having caused, is a lifelong lesson to you as what not to do in life as per your car's fuel level. This event could have cost you your life, as you were blocking a road with your car, that you knew was running on fumes for many miles. All could have been avoided had you made a better life decision. You were lucky - this time. Maybe next time - not so lucky.
Go look up tu quoque fallacy. It would do you good.
