I'm more ashamed to relieve the bladder than to buy gas. This means I'm ashamed most trips, as it takes quite a long time to travel 500 miles.
I keep caffeine tabs in the center console along with ibuprofen, and carry a cooler with assorted food / beverages.

The wife refills her coffee from lunch and brings it home to moi. 
I filled up my tanks on 1/09/16 and 2/07/16. 42 gallons in two months.
(16.5 gallons in jugs).

Fortunately, in my area there is a chain of nonprofit rest stops. I believe it is called McDonald's. However, I would trust an egg salad sandwich from a vending machine in the bathroom of a truck stop more than their memorabilia.

Well, the sandwich would likely make you smarter and stronger.  |

Last night I dined at a truck stop. It's one of the parts I like the most about road trips.

I know the feeling! When I was driving back from Texas (Long story) I stopped a total of five times. Only two of those times was to get gas. That was almost 1000 miles.
It was an amazing feeling. Although the rental Focus I had, had a rattly passenger seat that drove me up the wall. Still got really good MPG for the drive though!
