I plucked this information off another page. I would give credit to the author, but their home link is damaged and I couldn't find the information. My apologies to the original writer(s)! Anyway, this could be some lifesaving information to future travellers. But as with most information of this type, use it as a reference but don't count on it, some tanks may be empty. Be sure to fill up those water bottles EVERY chance you get! I have added the mileage distance in parenthesis for those of us that no habla metric.
