So should I keep the removable hard top on, or bring the car topless?

I hate to ask this question, let alone brng it up, but based on the news hipe and BS, do we need to be concerned (notice I didn't say painc) with gas availabilty?

The news media is making it out like SOCAL is running out gas!

Provided I don't jump in this thing, I should be able to make whole trip on 1 tank of fuel. It'll be close.
