I drove that way about a month ago in my LC. Tarmac the whole way, no problems. I didn't stop for fuel so can't comment there but I know it's available in Kiffa, Alyoun and Diema at least.
Lots of road blocks on the Mauritanian side and no police escort on the Mali side.
For lack of a better and safer option I bush camped just east of Diema (where someone was kidnapped in 2012) and twice during the night it seemed as if a group of men with torches were searching for me, quite scary so I really would not recommend stopping in that area at all, either in the town or not.
