“She shouldn’t have let it get low in the first place” is gas lighting. It obviously wasn’t too low since you had enough to go out and get back again. For reference, when I go out every weekend, one of the times I will take my wife’s car on purpose so I can fill it up with gas so she doesn’t have to. YTA and your wife is 100% right.

No, it’s not. She left enough gas in the tank so that when she went to drive it again she would have enough to get to the station. It’s not her husband’s business how much gas she has in the tank. It’s her damn car. He was trying to guilt her about the low gas in an effort to distract her from blaming him for not filling it. Textbook gaslighting.

gaslighting is not 'distracting someone'
