[Help!]

It took my son 24 hours to drive a 3 hour drive from Houston. He has a fuel-efficient car, and a full tank before he left, but still almost ran out of gas just idling all that time. In a gas-guzzler, he would have run out on the road from Houston to San Antonio.

Wow. Was there any place to refuel along the way?

For my hubby, I think having a diesel truck helped - they don't seem to burn fuel as fast at an idle. Fuel wasn't an issue for him at all.......making sure his 94 year old aunt didn't stress out was!

I'm really glad to hear your son made to his destination and I know how relieved you are!! Just think - he will be able to tell his grandchildren that he was part of the largest mass evacuation that ever occurred in the US!!

I'm thinking of making up a couple of special T-shirts to that effect for my hubby and his aunt!!
