Remember, gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. Limit your tank fills to 3.4 ounces at a time.

I remember those 5-hour energy shots worked really well when I got drowsy on long road trips. They're definately under 3 ounces.

Have you checked out FT's Destination forums?

I was dumbfounded for a second by such a crazy and stupid statement...till I realised what you had done there... :)

In college (90's) I made a handful, 2 handfuls, of trips between NY and CO in my pickup. Never took any of the precautions mentioned above (though I kept it in relatively good condition to begin with).

I'd usually drive ~18 hours out of NY on the first day, slept in a rest stop somewhere, and continued on to Boulder CO on day 2.

Never had a problem. Often this was a solo trip, occasionally with a friend. Loved the mobility... and the cheap gas too, but who knew what the future would hold. :D

I sure wish I had a GPS in my last drive around the Pacific Northwest. I think my savingsin wasted gas would have covered the cost.
