The given path can be illustrated in the following diagram:

She has only 30 miles worth of gas, if she comes back through the same path then the total distance is:

\text{Total distance=13 miles + 24 miles = 37 miles}

Therefore, she has not enough gas to go back using the same path.

Now, the total distance traveled in a straight path (SP) can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, we get:

\begin{gathered} SP=\sqrt[]{13^2+24^2} \\ SP=\sqrt[]{745} \\ SP=27.3\text{ miles} \end{gathered}

Therefore, she needs to take a straight path.
