Next town - one restaurant and 8-10 houses - no fuel at all. I had a 25 gallon tank and when I got to Rawlings (I think it was) I added 24.5 gallons to the tank. WAY TOO CLOSE.

Yup, once I went just a bit more than that... really fun to try to get fuel in the middle of nowhere. I started to carry a jerry can after that; only used it once, but really glad I had it when I needed it
On my new truck, I got a 52 gallon titanfuel tank installed... no more jerry can!
