But dropped to only 150 miles last year when the going got heavy on the Road of Bones' Old Summer Road. Lucky the guys I was with were carrying extra, but I don't want to be in that position again. But OTH I don't want to fit extra cans even though they really do make the 'Starbucks look'!
I will download your POI file Tim. Actually I collected them for the Atlantic route back in 2002, and CS linked to my map for a number of years. I guess what goes around, comes around.

Let me know how you went Ian, I am going through Morocco on an 1190 shortly including Western Sahara. I am really disappointed in the 1190 fuel range but have taken some precautions anyway. I bought a 5L Jerry that I'll probably keep full most of the time and a 20L swiss army water bladder that I'll just fill up with fuel for the occasions it is absolutely necessary. I was blitzing down from Paris to Madrid a month or two ago and averaging 140kmp/h, I wasn't getting very far at all, and thats on nice highways. Would be great to see how you got on and maybe even some of the routes you took.
