Diesel Fuel on US-50??? (Loneliest Highway in America)
Hi folks... question for those who may know:
Planning to depart the Reno area late next week, and wanted to detour off the interstate to tow my 5th wheel east across the part of US-50 known as the Loneliest Highway in America. But... I can't seem to find any recent info about diesel fuel availability east of the NAS Fallon area to Ely, NV.
Google Maps says it's approximately 260 miles between those 2 areas... and with the mountainous terrain & some high passes to climb, I don't think I can make it that far with my F-450 dually pulling a heavy 5th wheel toy hauler. In that type of terrain, I usually only plan for getting about 6-mpg... and with a 36-gal fuel tank, I'm gonna be gettin real nervous after about 200 miles.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any KNOWN diesel fuel locations?
Google does show 2 Chevon gas stations along the route... one in Austin, and another in Eureka... but the Chevron website doesn't show them having diesel available, so I'm guessing they're not options. And yeah, I know I could buy a couple of 5-gal diesel fuel cans... but I really don't wanna resort to that when I can just stay on I-80 if I need to, and not worry about it
Input appreciated... Thanks.
