Do you carry?
Folks: There are times each of us has nearly run out of fuel on a trip. Has anyone carried a 5 gallon can of fuel as a spare "just in case"?

I REALLY can't figure out how folks run out of fuel. With todays technology, road maps, fuel gages, trip meters, etc, it's beyond my comprehension. But that's just me.
I don't carry extra fuel.
If you have all that tech I can see not running out.And that's all good in an rv but I have a motorcycle too and it does not have a gas gauge. It does have a trip meter and I usually reset that after each fill up and know I need to fill up once it gets to about 130 miles. I once stretched it to 159 but had to flip over to reserve and just barely made it to the gas station. If you want to mess up a biker reset his trip meter if he has no gas gauge.
Yeah, I've got a VTX 1300R. It doesn't have a fuel gage. 129 miles, you go to reserve.:)
