Some thoughts:
On the way in to a camp ground I keep an eye out for a convenient gas station to fill up before leaving.
If towing a car, I fill up before hitching the car. DW gets coffee or breakfast and we meet in a convenient parking lot to hitch up (the car).
If the hiway sign says, for example, next 3 exits for such and such town, I take the first exit and drive parallel to the hiway and usually find a convenient station.
Use the GPS gas station locator and find a clump of stations so I have a choice.
Start looking when down to the last 1/4 tank, not when the warning light comes on.
