I guess in the bad old days I would try to avoid big cities or make
sure I had a full tank so I didn't have to stop. I've even gone way
out of the way so that I would never see NYC. I gas up before St.
Louis and El Paso for sure. There is no way around Chicago and one
time had to fill up with the gas nozzle in one hand and a rifle in the
other. Those 10+ people standing around in the gas station parking lot
at 2 am must have been sight see-ers. I've even been chased for
hundreds of miles , both times having a topped off tank. That will
make you start thinking about adding fuel storage. Nothing like
running on empty at 100 mph and about to give up when the pursuer has
to bail for gas. That one time I tried everything to get away from
them , even passing over sized oil rig equipment on huge tractor
trailers in the rain passing on the right. And thinking naw they can't
be that obsessed to follow through something almost suicidal and they
would pop out of the mist from the break down lane. I tried also the
get off the highway and get right back on , but it didn't work. BTW,
didn't have a gun that time or things would have gone a lot
differently. LA must be scary at night.

Watched too many Mad Max movies have you, Sunworshiper?
