Bigger is always better. Even if you don't need it, at least you have options.
There's nothing worse than not being able to take the road less travelled because there is no petrol station.
Every long trip I've done I've had 'enough' range with 200 miles with only 2-3 times where I've had to carry a Jerry can or some coke bottles etc. I've always wished I'd had more though. It removes stress and head scratching from a route choice.
If you can afford it and don't want old pop bottles stashed all over the place just to go into a national park etc, then get a BIG tank.
Sadly, they don't come cheap but jerry cans are HORRIBLE to carry. They take loads of space, are heavy and are easily nicked.
