Have you ever ran out of gas? It's probably not one of the most pleasant things to happen to you, but whether you just forgot to fill up, or you were just trying to stretch that dollar a little more, it can make for a very inconvenient experience.

As gas prices creep up to almost $4 a gallon in some cities, the number of people stranded without gas is continuing to rise,

According to KDKAAAA has seen an 18 percent increase in the number of roadside since March for people running out of gas.

Local motorists Pronews 7 spoke with say many times they think they are going to find cheaper gas so they wait to fill their tank. That cheaper gas sometimes doesn't come and it leaves them without any gas in their tank.

Monday's average price in American for unleaded gasoline is $3.863
