- Oh-oh, only a quarter tank of gas?
- Sweet, a quarter tank of gas.
- Time to start looking for a gas station immediately.
- This gas is gonna last forever.
I'll never go empty.
- Never in my life have I seen that gas light go on.
And we are not starting today.
- The gas light's not really a warning,
it's like a gentle nudge, like a,
"Hey, buddy, maybe just think about getting some gas,
three trips from now."
- I should use GPS to find the closest gas station.
Lead the way.
- [GPS] Now, turn right.
- Okay.
- I don't trust some machine to tell me where to go.
I know traffic pattern's better than some stupid satellite.
My mind is just a human compass.
- [GPS] Make a U-turn on 13th.
- No.
- [GPS] Make a U-turn on 14th Street.
- Wrong.
- [GPS] Make a U-turn on 15th.
- (scoffs) U-turn.
- Woo, made it.
It's a close one.
- Well, it says I have zero miles left,
but that means 30.
Zero equals 30.
I mean, I know my tank.
No one knows your tank like you.
Plus, if you're not coasting into the gas station on fumes,
you're just doing it wrong.
(moderate music) (Kim exhales)
- I like to use this time to just clean out my car.
It is such a mess.
Done.
(chips packet rustling) (comedic music)
- Clean up the front seat a little bit.
- I'm gonna admit something.
Sometimes I don't even get gas when I'm here.
Those industrial vacuum cleaners,
you cannot replicate that power.
Just that suction.
That's so good.
- All right, the front seat's pretty clean now,
and I'm never in the back seat, so perfect.
Back seat may as well not exist.
- What I love about this station is they have a car wash,
and this has been looking pretty rough.
I have time.
- Oh man, the hood of my car is filthy.
But you know what?
I can just wait for rain.
Nature's car wash.
- A full tank just feels so nice.
The weather's beautiful,
I like to take this opportunity to reset
before my day starts.
I mean, there's really nothing I can't take on.
Full tank, full heart, can't lose.
- Oh yeah, I'm around the corner.
Yeah, 15 miles.
Yeah, I could totally make it in time.
What is it, two minutes?
I'll totally see you then.
- I like to stop it so it's on an even number.
There we go.
Woo, what a relief.
- (whistling) Ooh, oh, the engine's kind of going in,
and out.
Right, so that's where you turn off the AC,
and the radio and just keep the RPMs under two.
It's gonna coast right into the gas station, we got this.
Come on.
Last couple of drops of gas.
We got this.
Come on, come on, come, come on, up.
Yep, perfect.
(moderate music)
(gas pump clicks)
- Oh my gosh, it's past F, I love being God's favorite.
- All righty, here we go.
(vehicle whooshes)
That's an interesting sound.
Oh man, I'm gonna get it up to 25 gallons
on a 22 gallon tank.
Like a new high score.
It should have one of those things
where you can put your initials on the board,
get the most gas.
(music stops)
Scene.
Hi.
- Hi.
What you just saw there, what happened there is every week
in my life.
(Penn laughs)
He thinks the gaslight's lying to him.
- It is.
It's never, like when the thing says,
"Distance to empty, 30 miles."
That's someone covering their butt.
It's really more like 60 or 70 miles.
Am I right?
- No. (Penn laughs)
- I think every relationship, this is the case, right?
There's one person where the red light is a real life,
or death warning and for some people,
the red light is just where you feel alive.
- Okay, he wondered his car wasn't working
for a year. (Penn laughs)
And I'm like, "Honey, there are four lights
on your dashboard."
He's like, "Oh, those have been,
it's been there for a while."
I'm like, "Should you check it out?"
- I'm paying the piper for that now for sure.
I think that's gonna change me.
You know what's never gonna change is I do firmly believe
that you're wasting net hours by stopping for gas more.
So there's tens of twenties of minutes a week that you get
by waiting until later. (laughs)
I know I'm crazy, right?
- How many times have you run outta gas?
- I've never had to walk to a gas station.
I've had the (murmuring) thing at least twice.
- We did call AAA to charge his battery,
and the AAA technician said,
"Actually, sir, you're just outta gas."
So you did run out of gas in our driveway.
Honestly, I thought it was perhaps
a difference between men and women.
But I'm learning from surveying friends
that I have a lot of female friends who do this too.
- It's just one or the other.
- It's one or the other.
I believe there's two types.
There's not an in between person.
There are two types of people.
Which one are you?
And then outside my car, the outside of my car is filthy,
but I'll just wait for rain, nature's car wash.
You can adlib that. (Penn laughs)
- We're just kidding. - Say hi.
- Oh hi, hi.
- [Penn] We're just shooting you right now.
- [Kim] This is what producers have to do in car shoots.
- Producer life.
Producer life.
- You're so tiny and you fit everywhere.
I'm sorry.
Can you tell me again what that was?
We were goofing off in here. (Marie laughs)
(Penn grunts)
(can clangs)
Hey, Marie, did I hit you?
- [Marie] Only my hand.
- Oh my God.
- (laughs) No, I'm fine.
