I'm driving down to FL soon and I would soo love to be able to get 20-21
gallons into the tank. that way I could fillup where it is really cheap and
then just run for like 500 miles or so on cruise.

BTW anyone know where the cheapest places to fill up are on I95 from NJ to
FL? I'm gonna be runnign down on the 18th or 19th for sure now.
