I topped my tank just before we left, but 52Carl said he would be OK. Well... we were going to fill up on the Virginia side of the Potomac River Bridge coming home... I made it... Carl didn't. Oh well, that was fun too!
I'm happy.
Already looking forward to next year!
I feel like I own you money Jethro. For those of you who haven't heard yet, I decided to park Sweet Pea 50 yards from reaching the peak of the bridge across the Potomac. Ran out of gas one mile from the Sheetz in Virginia where the gas is 40 cents a gallon cheaper than it is in Maryland. Within 5 minutes, one of Maryland's Finest pulled up behind me with his lights flashing so that I didn't have to keep waving at all of the fine travellers so that they wouldn't crash into Sweet Pea. As soon as he got out of his car he hollered, "Hey! You can't park here. Its a bridge." I began laughing so hard I couldn't talk for a bit. I thanked him for his sense of humor. He made a phone call and before you know it, here comes another one of Maryland's Finest with a 2 gallon gas can and poured it in my tank. I wouldn't start, so he pushed me over the peak so that I could coast to the bottom and pull over. Once I was on level ground, she started right up and off to Sheetz I went.
So by my estimation, I got $7.38 worth of free gas from The fine State of Maryland, and since I didn't pay .40 cents more/gallon before I left Maryland, I saved another $6.00. That's $13.38 I got payed for sightseeing, parked on a bridge for 30 minutes. What a country!
