My who-is-never-wrong and I who-is-never-right are going to
Alice Springs via
Coober Pedy, the distance being 688 klms.
We have searched many-o-maps but cannot see any fuel stops, are there any?

My 5 year old HEMA SE Desert sheet has Cadney Pk approx 200km past CP,
Marla 239 past CP and
Kulgera 136km past
Marla, probably more past
Kulgera.

Like above also
Erldunda, where you turn off to Ayers
Rock. There is no need to worry, the largest stint in between fuel stops is Glendambo and
Coober Pedy, just under 260 kilometres.
Cheers

BBA
In my experience the roadhouse at
Marla is always the most expensive on that trip (to the point of possibly being described as a rip-off). If you can, try to organise it so you don't need fuel there.

Nah ,
Erldunda beats in hands down , on major h/way yet 8 cents per lt dearer than the pink R/house on the
Oodnadatta track on the same day.

Yeah, well there has to be a delivery charge. 1080km from
Adelaide or 1985 from
Darwin. I seldom refuel there but do stop for conveniences and maybe something to munch. The good thing is that it's open 24 hours

Fill up to the top at Pt
Augusta and it is just over 506ks to
Coober Pedy You should make that, if you cannot fill up at
Pimba.
Avoid
places like
Marla and
Glendambo you will pay through the Nose.
Fill right up at
Coober Pedy and fill up at
Kulgera and you should make it through. If you are staying at a van park you cannot go past the Big 4.
Happy trails
