Hmmmm... You're going to have to stop to put the extra gas in it anyway, and 160 miles is just a bit shy of three hours at a steady 60mph; might as well just buy it fresh and avoid the issue?
Only reason I've ever carried extra fuel on a trip with me is when I head north to Chicago, where gas is stupidly expensive. I fill two five gallon cans and put them in my car's trunk, then use the cheap-cheap SC gas in Chicago rather than filling up at city prices. Saves me a good $10-15 in gas over the trip. -Kurt On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 8:55 PM, Lie Njie < [email protected]> wrote: > Howdy, > > So I'm planning a cross-country trip on my '92 750.
