Nobody is concerned about the range of a gas car because we can fill their tank in five minutes and there are gas stations everywhere.
The only times I've been concerned about the range of a gas car was when crossing Australia east to west on the Great Central Road on a Toyota Landcruiser. There was a gas station every 400 km and I couldn't skip one because the car couldn't do 800 km. Yet, we could refill in 5 minutes. No need to stop for the night at each roadhouse.

If that means you have to lug 80L in jerry cans, so be it, because in such situations you cannot assume that those gas stations even have fuel, or it could be closed for the weekend. It would seriously suck to be stuck there for a few days because you do not have more fuel.
- pmontra 3y agoYou are right. I'd advise myself to do that now. That journey happened 20 years ago so I don't remember the details. Maybe we did have some cans or maybe we were just fools used to the gas stations of Europe's highways.
