Do you use deisel? Some of the Royal Farms stations on the Va. eastern shore have separate deisel pumps that you should be able to get into easily. One is at the Va.-Md. border and another is just north of Onley. If not, there are some gas stations with room to manuever, just not that many. How many miles can you get on a tank of gas? You might want to fill up at the Flying J in Carneys Point, N.J. before crossing into Delaware.
Be aware the tunnels at the bridge are marked as having a 13'6" clearence. Tractor-trailers go through all the time but I am not sure just how tall they are. An alternative is to take Rt. 301 in Delaware, cross the Bay near Annapolis and continue on 301 through Bowie and Waldorf into Virginia. Then you can either turn south on Rt. 17 and end up around Yorktown or go over to 95. You will be between Fredericksburg and Richmond. (there is another Flying J when you get to 95). Then you just have to get around Richmond and run down 64 to Williamsburg. You avoid Baltimore and Washington but be aware the traffic on 301, with all the traffic lights, can be just as brutal.
