Don't Leave Your Roosevelt Island Zipcar Running On Empty Without Enough Gas For The Next Guy
Received the following message earlier this week from a Roosevelt Island Zipcar user unhappy with fellow Zipcar users failing to follow proper Zipcar gas etiquette:
We picked up a car on Saturday from Motorgate that had less than a 1/4 tank of gas, and we picked up a car today from the Octagon that had the fuel light blinking because it was on empty.Here's a video from Zipcar that shows you how easy it is to fill up the gas tank so you don't leave your Roosevelt Island neighbor running on empty.
People should remember that, not only is it required by the Zipcar rules that you return the car with at least a 1/4 tank of gas, but it's not polite to leave people in a spot where they have the car for an hour to get dropped off at work and the fuel light is blinking. Also - If you find yourself in the position where you do have a short reservation and no gas, when you call to report the person who used the car before you leaving the car without fuel, Zipcar will give you an extra 1/2 hour of driving credit to fill the tank up.
