Much less hassle to buy your groceries at home and fire up the fridge on electric to cool it down. Close it up tight. And it should stay cool enough for the trip from Long Island to Lake George. Or turn on the gas. If the fridge is cold, it won't use much gas enroute. What...some eggs, milk, cold cuts, water for fridge? Bread, cereal, canned, and jarred food for pantry. That covers B'fast, and lunch. Or just hit the restaurants.
Think about this. If you don't want to use gas in the fridge, it will take it over a day (after you get there) to cool down on electric. Then you get to put your food in it.
Do your grocery shopping before you leave. If you really don't want to use your fridge till you get there, Just fill your pantry with non perishables. And take a few minutes to buy your fridge items when you get there. Grocery shopping on your own, ain't all that terrible.
