It seems that she
may very well have run out of gas at Amscot. After OCSO took possession of the car they ran tests on the gas gauge. They found that it was functioning. They also found that the gauge showed empty. That doesn't mean that there is literally no gas in the tank (engine won't run), and could mean there is a very small amount. Regardless of whether GA put in a small amount at the tow yard or not, the tank was essentially empty (according to the gauge) when OCSO got the car.
There is still an intriguing question concerning the test results shown in the attached doc. I'll see if anyone here picks it up before I ask.
