I don't have a spare pack, I'll have to go buy one.

Despite others wanting cold drinks at a Starbucks, I decided we had better get as close to home and hopefully all the way home (about 45 miles).  Didn't make it; about 15 miles from home the fuel gauge quit as did the temp gauge.  I managed to get to a gas station.  Shut off motor to get gas and would not restart; we tried to push start but couldn't quite go fast enough; it almost started.  Towed home.
