I just did this route a couple days back and will confirm that there are some boutiques along the way that sell essence and gasoil...they usually are marked with yellow bidons along the side of the road. BUT sometimes they don't actually have any gas...I checked along the way for information sakes and only 1 out of 4 boutiques I asked had essence on hand. They all had gasoil on hand though.
The issue of quality is always there but be prepared as the price is 600Ourguiya per liter and upwards...
I personally rode with enough small bidons to make the 480km trip...small 5litre bidons are IMHO better because theyre easier to handle and tie down. You can get them for free at gas stations(specifically the TOTAL station) or parts stores around town.
Also, be prepared for the windy conditions and your fuel possibly blowing all ofver the place while pouring into your tank...use your empty mineral water bottle as a funnel by cutting the bottom off if you have to.
