Unfortunately, I was back at DCA this weekend (morning of Saturday 4/8), and the combination of cherry-blossom weekend and the bad weather beforehand had led to a nearly empty lot -- I took the lone car in the PC aisle (a newish Camry) after unsuccessfully trying to negotiate for the lone upgrade option (a Porsche SUV, for which the computer wanted $101/day, extra, minimum on top of the base rate). There was one vehicle in the 5* lot (a soft-top Jeep), and two or three scattered minivans elsewhere, apart from some vehicles in the Reserved section. National was fully booked or else I would have gone up there.
