I am run out of gas.

My gas is over.

My gas is finished.

Which of these (if any) is a normal way to tell someone I have no more gas?

Best Answer

I have run out of gas

is the only one that is correct.

You can say I am running out of gas if you notice your gas is low while you are traveling, or you can say I am out of gas if you want to tell someone you have little to no gas in youbr car right now. I am run out of gas is ungrammatical and sounds awkward.

Over and finished don't sound right. You can use these terms to describe something running out of time, or a process/event whose time is ending. You can also say you've finished something if you've eaten or used all of something. But a car doesn't "finish" gas, nor is it's gas "over" - the term that comes to mind is it "uses up" gas.
