How far on half tank of gas?
I guess some of you guys know the grim situation here in Japan. My GF and I are planning to go to Osaka where things are a bit more calm. I only have half tank of gas and I cannot get any more in Tokyo.
If I jump on the highway, how far can I get on that amount? I know I will waste all of it in the city but car seems very economical on the highway. I figured the further I get from Tokyo, the more chances I will have of getting gas.
So here is the question: half tank, no stop-go, how far?
Of course my other options are bullet train or plane, but car is better..

I usually get 175miles on 9 gallons doing 50/50 highway/city (doing 80 on the highway). If you are on a highway doing 55mph I'd bet you could get over 200. Good luck!

thanks guys. i took the safe bet and took the bullet train. was in Osaka in less than 3 hours while sitting back and sipping on a beer.
i would have made it in a car though. apparently there were plenty of gas stations after about 100km's out of Tokyo and there was no traffic.
but i didnt want to take the risk. what if there is another quake and they shut the highway? that said, the heated seats would have been nice. it's friggin cold!
Japan is trying to get things back to normal. northeast part of Honshu, pretty much everything above Tokyo is a mess. they are trying to restore communications and electricity. over 10000 people are still missing, 5000 confirmed dead. It will take very long of the region to recover, and with that nuclear plant, Japan's farming is gone forever.
