Night Driving...

This is just a fragment of a dream I had last night. Just a warning, it was unusually boring.
I was driving on a four lane highway with a concrete divider that had a fence high enough to where I didn’t see oncoming traffic. It was night and I was in the slow lane. A thought came to me, almost a warning that I should be in the slow lane because other vehicles would collide with me. Just then I saw the lights of multiple vehicles in the fast lane driving towards me. A mild sense of panic came over me and I resolved myself for the impact but it didn’t come. They passed me with the sound of small gusts of wind and left me in the darkness of night again.
It was a while before I came upon a gas station sitting alone at a t-junction in the freeway. The junction was little more than the end of one road (perhaps one lane as I don’t remember two) and the sharp curving of another road (almost 90 degrees at the junction but the road had it’s own curve facing away). It had steel rail guards on the far side. I pulled into the gas station and as I got out of my car I noticed the pump had 135 octane for a $1.42 a gallon. I thought it odd and looked for the brand of gas station. It was labeled Isuzu, with blue, white and some other color perhaps. At that point I woke up.
