The woman was sleeping in the back of the couple's van when her husband pulled into the gas station late Thursday in the town of Bad Hersfield.
Her husband didn't realize that she had gotten up to use a restroom and he drove off before she returned, assuming she was still sleeping.
He didn't realize she wasn't in the van until he was about 2½ hours down the road.
He called police, who assured him she was patiently waiting.

The cargo imported from China sparked apprehension in Mombasa, where belief in occult and clairvoyant sciences is strong as port officials linked the cargo an unnamed senior politician.
However, some analysts think the cargo which includes fake skulls, skeletons and limbs is a diversionary to conceal some other cargo while others associate it with Halloween.
KRA has launched investigations to unravel the link between the cargo and the politician.

A pair of Russian multi-millionaires apparently went head to head to see who could splash the most cash in a top Mayfair bar - ending up with a combined bar bill of more than £130,000.
Owners of Kitsch London claim the mystery pair spent a small fortune trying to outdo each other in just three hours on the club's opening night.
According to onlookers, two arch rivals, in their 30s, racked up a bar bill that would buy a one-bed flat in the capital in just a few hours - and didn't even drink it all.
The men arrived just before midnight and started ordering large numbers of Dom Perignon and Cristal champagne.
Every time one table would order a set of drinks the other man would add more on his next order to beat the other.
By the end of the night, the bills were an eye-watering £66,778.91 and £64, 279.70 - making a grand total of £131,058.61.
The first man's bill for £66,778.91 included 30 Magnums of Cristal, 20 Bottles of Dom Perignon, 20 Crack Baby shots, six Espresso Martinis, 10 shots of 18-year-old Glenmorangie whiskey, eight bottles of mineral water, seven bottles of 1998 vintage Krug champagne and two magnums of Belvedere vodka.
The other bill for £64,279.70 included 64 bottles of Dom Perignon at £325 each which came to £20,800 on its own. There was also 25 bottles of Crystal champagne, 16 of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades champagne, 12 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose, 7 Mohitos, 10 bottles of Peroni, 20 cans of Red Bull, six Bellinis, six bottles of water, two bottle of Chivas 18-year-old whiskey, six bottles of Krug Grande Cuvee, and eight bottles of Belle Epoque Rose.
"With numerous members of Congress refusing to negotiate an end to the shutdown in the face of widespread federal furloughs and a looming deadline to avoid defaulting on government debt, we are extremely concerned for the mental health of those Americans who responded, 'Yes, we think Congress is doing a good job,'" psychiatrist Dr. Donald Levin said in a press conference this morning, telling reporters that the estimated 15.5 million Americans who approve of Congress are likely "very troubled" citizens who may in fact be experiencing psychotic episodes or delusional thoughts.
- Crafty animal has become unofficial mascot at the Swiss club
Golfers at the course in the alpine resort of Verbier, Switzerland, have been left watching in disbelief as the wily animal suddenly appears on the fairway moments after they tee off.
The fox is estimated to have chased and gathered over 100 balls so far, often while they are in play, and shows no sign of getting bored.

Deep in thought, this little lemur appears to be ruthlessly plotting something.
The primate looks remarkably lifelike in this series of poses captured at a Russian zoo.
Photographer Olga Yermolava, who captured the rare and remarkable moment, said: "I am so happy I managed to capture the lemur's expression before it moved. Its pose is so human that it makes a very funny picture".
Olga who often frequents the small zoo in Nizhny Novgorod on the weekends is a keen watcher of the lemurs and is no stranger to them pulling faces and poses.
"Generally lemurs have very rich facial expressions and it is always interesting to watch them."
She said this character reminded her of the charismatic King Julian from the film Madagascar.

Yep, it's the Aflac duck.
