Quick correction; I've never been to Scotty's Castle, but I've been to DV a handful of times and that all struck me as slightly off. It looks like the distance is 117km (73mi), and actually that route is denser in terms of services than any other part of DV. You'll go past Furnace Creek which is the only place in the park with premium gasoline, and you'll pass the major junction with Highway 190 which means regular gasoline is available at Stovepipe just a handful of miles west of that junction. (The only other place with fuel that I can think of, offhand, is Panamint Springs, and is quite a bit more pricey than the other areas.. and also, a mountain crossing away)
