I know it's a pain in the &** to stop every couple of hours for fuel but I have found it actually make s the overall driving experience much better. I find that after two hours of driving, I begin to get uncomfortable and start to shift my position in the seat. If I stop and stretch then I'm good for another couple of hours. It also helps to make me more alert.
Fueling every two to three hours allows time to stretch so the drive is better overall. So in reality it helps to relieve the pain in the &**.....
LOL - this is a really great way to look at it!
