You would have seen me on I-75 soutbound Wed Night / Thurs morning, or
northbound Sunday night.  Drove from Detroit to Gadsden Alabama. (700
miles each way)

A nice trip for me , plenty of Shell VPower as well as BP/Amoco and
Texaco, all 93 octane,  no problems at all.

A rule of thumb that has served me well on 60k+ miles of road trips is
never get more than 1/2 tank of gas  at once.  Besides, who can drive
more than 200 miles without having to pee/stretch/eat ?

Cheers,
Keith
