An aeroplane in Australia runs out of fuel every 10 days! They are only the ones that are reported too....

The stats are wieghted only slightly more to the fuel starvation side of things than the fuel exhaustion side. Basically pilots are not getting the fuel from the tanks to the engine.

It used to be once every 8 days until we were hit with the fuel crisis of 2000.
