7 Amazing Places You Can Go On One Tank Of Gas In Central Alabama

Nothing beats a great road trip. However, we can all agree that the worst part of any road trip is emptying our wallet to fill up our vehicle. And with gas prices continuously increasing across the state, less road trips are being taken. There’s no reason why we should limit ourselves when it comes to road trips. After all, there are several places throughout Alabama that we can visit and only have to use a single tank of gas.

One tank of gas averages about 300 miles for most vehicles. We’ve mapped out a road trip that will take place in central Alabama, beginning and ending in Tuscaloosa. The length of this road trip is 275 miles and will last about 5 hours and 20 minutes, minus the time spent at each stop.

Listed below is our mapped out road trip. You can view the actual Google map here. Now, let’s get started on our road trip:
