Or at least you would be, in the game as designed. But one item spaceships can have is "fuel limpets", effectively small missiles that can transfer fuel to another ship.
So, shortly after the game launched, a group of players formed the Fuel Rats, an emergency refueling service.
Ran yourself out of gas? Don't panic, head to the Fuel Rats website and hit the distress button.

You get dropped into an honest to god IRC channel, with the current on-call dispatcher. They collect your location, make sure you have enough oxygen reserves and how to conserve resources. Meanwhile, responders hanging out in the channel have been plotting a course to your location, and reporting ETA and jump counts back to the dispatcher. The distpatcher assigns (usually) a primary and backup responder, and they start heading your way.

@danderson@hachyderm.io they even have an irc channel! Also be weary not to attack a fuel rat while they're in service otherwise you're in for a bad time
