Some drivers in California re resorting to desperate measures to beat the surge in gas prices at the pump, reports Reuters. The news agency says some motorists are deliberately running dry on the state’s freeways and simply waiting for rescue, and the free gallon of gas that comes with it. “Every time fuel goes up, we start noticing it. But right now we are noticing it a lot more,” Andy Lujan, owner of California Coach Towing, said. “You say to some of them ‘hey, you’ve run out of gas’ and they say ‘yeah, it’s too expensive.’ I think the percentage is going to increase,” Lujan said.
