It’s a cool autumn morning and we have a dream run east from Kimba across to Port Augusta except for the fact that Woody said that he would fuel up in Iron Knob and guess what? There are no servos in Iron Knob, so once more we crawl along the Eyre Highway checking the DTE (Distance to Empty) versus Garmin and Google maps. With little more outside the car than saltbush to say that it’s nail biting is an understatement. To happen twice on one trip is ridiculous.

Our 4WD was a diesel one. There were some running on empty type experiences avoided by carrying a 20L container of spare fuel, as we did.

Yes, I’d been going to suggest that too. We can’t have this blog turning into ‘Running on Empty’, Chapters 10 – 30.

I’m afraid that probably wouldn’t help as my Woody even ran out of petrol when he owned a service station.

We’ve been caught out too almost running on empty when we had an unexpected diversion from a highway when an accident happened. We are learning to fuel up where you can because you never know what’s ahead.

I reckon fuel is like toilets, see one and take advantage of it.

If you are like me, Woody’s skating on thin ice…… so often Paul decides to leave the fuel fill up to the next stop only to encounter the unexpected. He’s under threat if it happens again…
