I can think of a lot of inappropriate reponses
...Why don't you tell us what you're flying, how close you are to the mainland, how close you are to the island...

sorry I forgot about that I am currently 30 min out from California (222 nm out) and flying the default 737

Throttle way back and try to limp in to KLAX. Taxi to the fuel stand and DON'T set the parking brake. Take off again once the fuel is full
and finish the flight at McCarran (sp?). You'll take a points hit on the time you lose in California but you won't crash the plane. Otherwise,
start over and plan better.
