the Tapanzee Bridge. The problem (late at night) happens across the
bridge on the way to Connecticut....

No wonder! White Plains, Rye...that's some of the most expensive real estate
in America. No way a gas station would survive, paying the property taxes in
that area, not to mention whatever it would cost to buy property close to
the highway. In 1970, I figured out that you have to get gas before going
over the bridge, or get yourself a map of White Plains and waste time
wandering around local streets.
How many trips did it take for you NOT to figure that out?

a gas station (or two or three) visible from 84 at that point - before you
cross over the Hudson (going west to east).

I'm only semi-familiar with 84, but it goes right through Newburgh - there's a gas station (or two or three) visible from 84 at that point - before you cross over the Hudson (going west to east).

That is not a problem anywhere else on my route....you can
count on finding gas just about anyplace at any time.
