Hi Folks,
I'm being told (elsewhere) that the store at
well 33 is making an effort to cater for the tourist as
well as their own community and that if they know when we're coming through they'll see thay have fuel in stock (which begs the question that they surely realise that many many vehicles will be coming through this winter so why ask when we're coming - but let's overlook that for the moment).
If, repeat if, one could be sure of fuel at #33 then the need for a dropoff at #23 would seem to diminish somewhat. Anyone agree?
As it's about 900 km to #33, plus side trips, it would seem my #80 LC with LR tanks holding 270L, plus a couple of jerries, would see me to #33.
Say 1000km and say 310L equates to 3.2 K/L.
Any comments from those who've "been there done that"?

Hi Dick
Havn't been there havn't done that but it is my assumption that #33 would guarantee your supply if they knew you were depending on them. They would also have the necessaries to transfer fuel. But I can't imagine that anyone is about to start a fuel price war and surely there is not enough business to have two suppliers on the track.
What's their point, is there dissatisfaction with the existing system ? Do the local police have a point of view ?
Your going S to N, what about the reverse direction does #33 have an advantage to those treckers ?
So much to do so little time.
