I carry a 5 gallon can now. Just in case
I know it well; Roosevelt to Vernal. I once coasted a company truck into town; didn't make the station and had to call a buddy for a couple gallons. A pattern is appearing.

In my defense, on that particular truck, when the low fuel warning triggered, I had about 20 miles to empty. That truck went into minus territory a few times.
