Lots of tossing and turning for sure but doable.
I’m an avid backpacker...my original plans were to camp in Smokemount Campground, in the Park. Was open, albeit not a soul. Park ranger even suggested I go elsewhere, due to the weather, me the only one there and no cell service.
I took his advice and Plan B was the car.
I don’t keep track of gas mileage. I never ran over 5 miles above the limit on backroads and no more than 20 above on the interstate. My car is a L99. I’m running a CAÍ, Range AFM delete chip and Borla cat-back....basically stock.
Car ran well, most expensive gas was in So Carolina.
Pic is a screen shot I took while I was planning my exit out of the mountains. Ended in Sylva...road to Highlands/Cashiers was closed (trees down).
**Note my location, Cherokee...7pm. Pitch black! All alone, spotty cell service. Was listening to Pandora most of the drive...missed a lot of the advisories and news.
I survived though and spending 2 nights staying in Hotel SS...I actually fell in love with her all over again!

All I can say is your tougher than I am! Like I say I could have slept one night in the car if I would of had to but I would have got my butt out of there the next day to find me a room somewhere.
