You have plan that works for you. But for most, many sips are far better at staying hydrated than large drinks at gas stops. Slow and steady Vs peaks and valleys.
@scythefwd - Try a rally sometimes. Even just a 8-10 hour one. It's a completely different animal. Speed isn't part of it, that's a misconception many have. It's not a race, it's a game involving strategy and planning that requires a good amount of focus once in progress. You're not really competing against others, but rather yourself. You plan your ride, you choose where you are going to go, what bonuses you're going after and how you're getting to them w/in the parameters of the event. Afterwards your score is ranked against others and a winner is announced, but you have no idea what anyone else is doing during the event. Someone passing you means nothing since you have no idea what their plan is or where they are going next, where they came from last, etc.
