On long car rides you can plan your gas tank fill-ups to be the most economical simply by doing research before hand. Websites such as Gas Buddy (again, they didn't ask me to say nice things!) can help you figure out where the cheapest place to buy gas is along your way.
For example - I went away this weekend and I looked up the city I live in, the city I was going to, and another one that was on the way. By comparing the average prices of gas for them all I was able to determine that I should only put enough gas in my car to get me halfway there, and fill up at which would be the cheaper place along the way.
I know that when I cross the border for shopping that I should only have just under half a tank of gas, because I can get it for 3/4 of the price down there.
Just make sure if the cheaper price is not the place where you are starting that you DO have enough gas to get there so you don't run out along the way!
