Unless you live in the wilderness I'd say substitute a AAA card for everything - 1/10 ounce.
Unless you have a problem with AAA's environmental record/policy, I guess.

I have them... haven't had to use them, yet. Wife has the expensive version of a AAA policy, with unlimited towing, because she has to drive so far to get to school... ~ 3 hours, and we'd rather have her car back home than stuck at some pakisudannoneseian repair shop in BFE, PA.
