most of us did, well I did, but it has been a long week my tank is running low, but apparently this is going to go on for another week

Be safe and hang in there...
you don't even want to know, horrible, disorganized, fights, 10 block long lines, and the Asshat NYPD letting friends and family skip the lines

not sure how much it has to do with the turbos, BUT, it is not nice for your fuel pump to go below a quarter tank, the fuel pump is inside the tank and is liquid cooled, by what liquid? the gasoline! so as your gas runs low, the fuel pump becomes exposed and heats up, and as anything on a car, overheating is bad and it can fail.. rare I guess, but possible.
