Re: Road family went down was closed by gate.
I have a question. This isn't a knock, legit question.
A car like a Saab would average about 2 gallons a day at idle, idling constantly. It would have at least a 12 gallon tank or so.
I would assume they idled the car much more than we would be led to believe if they ran the car out of fuel, completely.
Why drain the fuel completely? Granted they would have burned some fuel driving to the point where they stopped, but undoubtedly they had a full tank to start with since they were trekking out into the unknown and had just came from an Interstate exit.

Bad assumption. If they were stupid enought to turn off on that road, they were certainly stupid enough to leave without a full tank. Don't ya think?

Are you kidding me?!?!?! They left an interstate? WTF???
I certainly hope there's a very good reason for that, or else my sympathy will be gone.

go read that wikipedia thing I posted up a few posts
it has maps and chit. They missed their turn off the interstate, so instead of turning around, they went to the next exit and tried to cut through on some mountain roads. |

Well that's just stupid. It's too easy to get turned around in the mountains.
Ask CO Hummer, he doesn't even know the names of stretts in his own 'hood.

Tis true. Sometimes I even wonder about in the meadow outside my house, just looking for gas station!
