Well, it's been 2-1/2 years since I was there, but my recollection is that there was plenty of fuel available. I usually like to fill up the Busa around 175, but I can push to 220 if I have to on the reserve, and I don't recall ever being in a position where I was sweating running out. If you can make 100 miles between gas stops, I'd say you'll be just fine.

I've only had to invade my reserve against my will once, and that was in British Columbia. Leaving Prince George, BC heading for Calgary, I pushed 215 before I found a gas station that wasn't even on my GPS. This place was a little hole in the wall joint.

It is pretty disconcerting when you're beyond the 50% range on the tank and the GPS says the closest fuel is where you just came from.
