It depends on how well I know the route, and just where I am. There are some areas out west where gas stations a far and few inbetween. And sometimes you arrive at a remote station that has been used many previous times only to find that they are out! True story. We had to make a decision on whether to carry on to the next station (even more remote) and hope that they had fuel, or backtrack. Luckily I was able to get a call thru to my hunting partner who was already camped, and explain the situation. We then continued on, knowing that if we did not arrive on time, that help would be on the way. The second station had fuel. So all was good.
