Getting My Bladder to Last 900 Miles

Lisa Nowak · 02-09-2007, 10:42 AM

hi,

i don't know if this is the right place to intro, but lately i've been kind of stressed out - hope it does not piss any of you off. really interested if my prius's 11.9 gallon bladder can last 900 miles along interstate 10 (really don't want to discuss the trip). ok, this is edgy, but would tailing an 18-wheeler get me there non-stop?

thanks in advance

Use the bladder, and hook a rope to the tractor-trailer.

That should do it.

Or get into the gravity well of a Hummer or Cadillac Esplanade.

I was looking for the number at the bottom of your avatar

In reality, I drove from Orlando Fl to Bryan Tx on $22.00 worth of gas only stoping when I really HAD to GO.. Criusing at mach 0.8 lol 80mph.

It was a good trip, if I hadn't had the Sirus satt. I think I would have run alot of people off the road from boardom that would have caused the jello headed neck bob.....

The drive back was the real story it was when Katrina hit La. , I had to detour onto I55 north to meridian Mis.
I counted 150 cars that had run out of gas and the people where trying to get rides by running out infront of the drivers. Kinda like a horror movie..... State & local police had to block off the exits off of the interstate because there was no gas. Every time we would get somewhere being tired we would think 'hey lets stop here, but NO VACANCY's . We crossed over on truck route 80 to montgomery AL then south on hwy 231 to cottondale Fl I think we finnally stopped in Ocala Fl. and slept till the next day... Everywhere we would have stopped was hit with a tornado or micro bursts.. Neat Huh
