I agree that you plan ahead meaning you figure how to exit. I have learned that when dealing with gas stations where the pumps are perpendicular to the station I drive in on the right and cross between pumps and station and then turn left into the pumps to exit out. My fill is on the left (drivers side). Left turner I can do tighter and then straight out. I have just driven past and returned to the highway if I am not confident. I also have determined it is not the worst thing in the world to unhook if needed. Blue ox on Smart Car is pretty easy.
