Is extra gas needed

We are planning on leaving the 2nd of June for Alaska. I have a Hemi 5.7, Gas, 9 mpg 34 gal tank. Do I have to worry about running out of gas. I had planned on taking two 5gal safety gas cans but I am not sure if it is needed. Has anybody run into a problem? My rig is in my profile. Thanks

    You won't need to carry any fuel, but will be stuck fueling up at some very expensive places such as Muncho Lake.

    Many of the small gas stations are gone. Some because the road has been moved others just died.
    Milepost magazine has good information on where gas is available.
    I always ran toward the upper portion of the fuel tank.
    Have a good trip! Take your time and enjoy it!
