My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I'm hoping sooner than later we can pay at the pump with bitcoin LOL.

Every place I've been they don't care if you pay cash or card the price is the same. I have a Chevron Card and a Shell Card both of them give me 5-10 cents off per gallon. Many places do that, so maybe get a fuel card from one of the common gas stations across the country, or go to truck stops to fill up maybe? Every place I've ever filled up you just go in give them money and you pump your gas then go get the change after you are done. You can closely figure out how much its going to cost if you pay attention to when you fill up your vehicle. I know with my Ranger if its at 1/4 of a tank its about $37 to fill up. So I'd give the cashier $40 and get the change when I'm done. I just use my card much easier that way and usually if a station is closed after hours you can still fill up at the pump with your card that's one thing to watch out for, some stations are not 24/7 stations so you pull in there at 2am if you don't have a card you aren't getting gas.
At 2:00am, its time to take a nap for a few hours.

Night is the best time to travel as there is a lot less traffic.
Yup, just you and the bored police officer looking for something to do :)

I don't count birthday's anymore...just happy to be looking down at the ground instead of looking up
When I was a Deputy Sheriff, we did not have "quota's"....we could write as many tickets as we wanted ! ;missingteeth;
Used to run radar, especially in school zones. I was embarrassed if I didn't write a book (25 tickets) every day !

If you aren't doing anything wrong you got nothing to worry about. I've never had an issue with cops driving on trips late at night, if you aren't doing anything wrong they're going to leave you alone.

Got a local faux city near here, handful of ex strip joint bouncer cops. The cities only income is $500 tickets on a 1/2 mile stretch of state hwy.

Well with no traffic on the roads..........................you would be speeding, lol
And if you weren't speeding and I was cop I would pull you over to see WHY you weren't speeding, dead body in the trunk, transporting drugs, a democrat, ect..............

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I left my house at 2am for the drive to Attica. I don’t think I saw anything but trucks for the first 5 hours.

I never drive over 75. I aints gots no where to be that bad...

When I worked in the ghetto people use to fly down rt 1 weaving in and out of traffic like maniacs. I would just putz along doing the speed limit. 10 miles down the road me and the idiots doing 90 would end up sitting next to each other at the same red light...

From NJ to Savanah, you'll be on I-95 where the speed limit is irrelevant. Get up close behind a semi and draft him. That will save fuel while you zip down here at 95 mph.
Don't do this in Virginia! 😲😬☠

Virginia is for lovers. I imagine that means if you get pulled over you just give the cop a big wet kiss and be on your way.
