Not all time is equal. On a 600 mile long time breaks are extremely costly. The trip is already 9 hours long, which is close to the max you can safely drive in

Not all time is equal. On a 600 mile long time breaks are extremely costly. The trip is already 9 hours long, which is close to the max you can safely drive in a day. So you want to stop around every 200 miles, for as short a time as you can, to avoid making the trip longer. On the other hard when I go to the gas station I don't have that time constraint.
