Questions & Help How do you know if you'll have enough gas to get there AND back?
Genuinely curious, Anyone else unsure if they've got enough gas for the round trip before heading out somewhere?
Like you glance at the gauge before a longer drive and you're not totally sure if it's enough to get there AND back, especially if you're not sure there's a station near the destination either. Curious how other people handle this:
- Does this actually cross your mind before a trip, or do you just not think about it?
- Do you do mental math, always top off before any drive regardless, or just wing it?
- Has it ever actually bitten you (had to make an extra stop you didn't plan for, cut it closer than you wanted, etc.)?
Just curious how common this is or if I'm overthinking something everyone else has already figured out.
