How far can I drive on fix-a-flat?

I got a flat tire and Discount Tire won't have my tire in for like 6 hours. I was going use it and drive straight there, its like 2 miles away. My question is if I use it now should it last for 6 hours, with about 3-4 miles of driving before I leave to get it fixed.

Depends on the hole in the tire. As long as you have pressure in the tire, you can drive it indefinitely. If it was a small enough hole, the fix-a-flat may seal it up for good.

I think you are good for a while yet. It's not all the way down, there's still plenty of air left in the middle and top of the tire.

long as the tire doesn't go flat again. I've had a nail in a brand new tire and left it there , used fix-a-flat, aired it up back to 32lbs, drove 30k miles on it.

Put slime in it and air it up and you will be fine.
Slime >>>> Fix a flat or anything else

I put some in my tires even if I don't have a flat just because it will seal small holes if I ever do run over anything and being a contractor I run over nails and shite all of the time at job sites.

You're good for a long time but after a few months, you may damage your tires pressure sensor, if so equipped.
Even if the Fix-a-flat can says it won't, after a while it will. Never used Slime.
Be sure and tell your tire guy so they will clean it out and not get a surprise.
