Ran out of gas on I-10, I-610 or a high-rise like the Crescent City Connection? Book fuel delivery in the Hopper app and get enough fuel to reach a station.
On bridges and elevated interstates there's little shoulder. Put your hazards on, stay in the car if the shoulder is narrow and traffic is heavy, and call 911 if you're in a dangerous spot.
Parade routes and street closures can force long detours and slow crawls, and a low tank goes faster than you'd think in that traffic. Fill up before heading into the city on parade days.
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 New Orleans drivers
Potholes are a fact of life here. If you hit one hard, check for a bulge or slow leak before you get back on the interstate.
