Running out of gas in Baton Rouge traffic, stuck in a backup on I-10 or I-12, or on the way across the river, is dangerous on a narrow shoulder. Book fuel delivery in the Hopper app for enough fuel to reach a station.
Long backups burn more fuel than you'd expect. If you're low and traffic is stopped, take the next exit and look for a station before the tank runs dry.
If you're crossing the Mississippi River Bridge toward Port Allen on fumes, there's nowhere to stop until you're off the bridge. Fill up on the Baton Rouge side first.
What to expect
Fuel delivery brings enough fuel to get you to the nearest station when you've run out. Add your vehicle in the app so the driver brings the right fuel, and stay with the car somewhere safe. When you get to a station, fill up fully. Running a tank to empty can also strain the fuel pump.
A tip for Baton Rouge drivers
On LSU game days, roads and lots around campus get packed. Give a precise pin and a note about where the car is parked so the driver can find it.
