It gets better outside of the tri-state area. But you still need to be cognizant of whats around you. This is more so when your just getting off an exit and looking for stations. And fill up at a quarter tank so you dont run out if you get into trouble. Shoot for the truck stops. I just have a TT, and went to the truck side , thinking I could scope out the pumps and get over to the gas side or they would have a gas pump on the truck side, nope. The truck side had 0 gas, and no way to go other then back right back on the highway.
