I'm sorry, but I just can't, understand, running out of fuel. Its ALWAYS avail.
Unless you make a really dumb decision I guess.
there are many small towns in Texas that do not have gas stations. The next one may be 50 miles away and you may have to ask a local which way to go to find it. Not a dumb decision but an uninformed action. As a motorcycle rider with a180 mile range, I have been stuck twice before the era of Internet, smart phones and gps.
...and that's exactly why you don't let your fuel tank get so low that you can't make it 50 more miles. Run off the top 1/2 tank and you won't have problems. How do you think local people that live and work in those areas get their fuel? It's doable.
