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 would have bitten my fingernails off to my knuckles. LOL My low fuel light is set at a couple of gallons. That gives me about 18 miles (30 kilometers). Fine for a city but not so good for rural areas.time2roll wrote:
I have half the range and so I try to stretch it a bit more.
If I have the fuel light on with less than 30 miles remaining range I call that perfect.
Never an issue with no fuel out west.
But I do not wait for the light to come on to look for gas. I use navigation to look for gas on route with 100 miles remaining. If I find a truck stop or multiple stations at about the right distance I am good to go.
Have seen signs 'next gas 100 miles' and 'next gas 132 miles' and head the advice immediately. Not a big deal. Have bit my nails once when I judged it wrong. Slight detour to first fuel and 26 gallons later we were on our way. That was a decade ago.
