Can someone tell me if the fuel requirements in the trek notes for various tracks are for total fuel required to be carried to go from one end to other without buying fuel or the maximum fuel required between available fuel stops on the way? I assume they are for the former but would like some confirmation.

Richard
Just had a look it's the avg. used
if you look at the fuel required on a trek note then the fuel trek you will see the avg. at the end of the list of fuel used = the trek note.
hope this helps

What I really want to know is fuel available en-route. When I read the trek notes someone may have been carrying 190 lts and only used 150 lts so it indicates they need not have filled up on the way. Another set of figures can be the reverse. Carried 150 lts and used 190 lts. The latter indicates they must have filled up on the way, but where? The first example indicates that if we have 120 lts in our tank(s) we need to carry 70 lts of fuel extra in cans when in fact there might be fuel available on the way.
