quit being a cheapskate and put some gas in therre :P
but if your gas is really low, it might be hard for ur fuel pump to make enough pressure. try changing ur fuel filter if its old

Mine does the exact same thing. It only happens when I get below 1/8th of a tank. To fix this problem, turn the key on, but let the check engine light go out first, then start it. It will allow the pump to build up enough pressure.
