Last time was in the middle of the heat wave we had this year. I too had to push for about a mile to the station, uphill in the blazing sun. I think I sweated more than 17 litres due to all my gear. What really ****ed me off was that once full it just refused to start. So a lot of swearing and another mile or so till I found a hill big enough to try bump starting it, something I'd never tried before. Thankfully it worked, as I was 8 miles from home and really not happy about the thought of pushing it that far.
I tend to wuss out now and fill up shortly after the light comes on.
