Wasn't the original thought on this thread of coming up with ways to reduce
the number of gas stop or increase the distance between them?  Running out
of gas only increases the time between gas stops (or makes the gas stops
longer).  There can be a relation between time and distance but rate has to
be above zero. (I'm sure Enron and Arthur Anderson could make the relation
work with a rate of zero).  What I would like to know is how to extend the
distance to about 500 miles, not 5,000 miles, (w/o tow truck, digi-wife, or
other artificial mover) and keep my van looking like a van and not some
terrorist plot that includes red gas cans strapped, duct taped, or fastened
to the exterior/interior.
