I drove 8ish hours Friday, it was fine except the usual, lots of swaying on the highway at high speeds and loud road noise.
I am taking the same exact trip again and am considering if I can do it without getting gas if I leave with a full tank this time. What do you guys think? I think someone mentioned they took a 9 hour trip with their yaris and didn't stop for gas? Friday I left without a full tank and needed gas at 4 hours. And when I reached home after another 4 hours I had half a tank left. (and I still do and have driven to work today & yesterday) So half a tank = more than 4 hours of driving, so I'm assuming I can make my 8 hour trip without a gas stop till the end *crosses fingers* Fridays drive was just a test drive (I'm paranoid, yes I wasted a tank of gas just to drive somewhere and turn around... I'm glad I did, the trip took me an hour more than I expected, AND when I got there I found out there was a time change I didnt know about. If I hadnt taken my test drive I would have been 2 hours late on the real day I'm going there) so I reached my destination after 4 hours, got gas, and turned right around. This Thursdays drive I'm staying a few hours when I reach my destination and will be in a hurry arriving and leaving.. so I don't want to bother with gas, espceially at 2am, who knows if a station will be open in a city I don't know. Lets hope a concert doesn't make me too tired to drive, fall asleep, and crash. I'm going to buy some red bull lol. Any other long trip advice? I have work the day of and next day which is why I will be in a hurry |

Being late for anything isn't worth risking your life. That's my only tip I can give you. Just let your work know you may be late so you're not in a hurried mood.
