What makes a Gas Tank Getaway? 

• It's close, roughly 100 miles or less away from where you live. 
• It's cheap, with minimal spending required once you get to your destination.
• It's fun, and offers something a bit out of the ordinary, whether that's the chance to get close to nature, learn something new or find something special.
