Around 20 some years ago we left home in MD and headed to Colorado Springs. Drove out on northern route and back southern route. No offense to the great state of Kansas but driving thru once was enough for us. Anyways, no camper, I had enough hotel points gor 2 weeks+ and 2 weeks was my time of work.
Was driving my DW's Durando R/T, 5.9 L "magnum", big tires, all wheel drive, required premium fuel and used LOTS of it. We stopped somewhere I think in Wyoming (we were just exploring the country as we went) and fueled up. Plugged in the gps, entrred our destination (a stop in Denver to visit her nephew in college) and the gps said "258 miles to the next gas station". That was an Oh ****e moment. I typically drove that thing like I stole it because it was fun but that drive was like driving on ice.
We arrived in some mall town (258 miles away) and filled up at the one and only station. And yes, they knew the cost of that commodity.....
