Just be aware a cold start will seriously damage mpg to start with.
But 14 miles will be no problem.

If you were that stuck you could always fill up and then go into the garage and play dumb saying you forgot your wallet etc, fill a form in and then take the money next time your around.

Not that ive ever had to do that
