Definitely worth the trip!
I got to my house at 10:20.
Speaking of running out of gas ...
I left home in my Honda Civic Hybrid with a full tank of gas. Drove to Austin with only one stop at a roadside Rest Area. Left Austin heading for Sanger. The "low fuel" warning light came on just north of the Texas Motor Speedway as I'm flying along I-35W on a 12 mile stretch with no gas stations. At this point there were two "bars" on the gas gauge. (There are about 10 bars at the 1/2 tank mark.) By the time I got to the end of the 12 mile stretch, I had no bars. Drifted into the gas station & pumped 11.984 gallons of gas. According to the documentation, the tank holds 12.3 gallons! I think that is close to qualifying as driving on fumes.
