Just been through on pretty much that route in the past week or two. Utterly spectacular, especially the unintended diversion from Baranturun down to Jargalant (everywhere in mongolia is called jargalant) and over the hills to altanbulag - utterly amazing! See my blog....
Petrol no problem in baranturun (though we had to wait an hour for the dude with the keys to turn up), ulanngom, etc.
Moron is pretty well equipped with fuel, hotels, internet cafes, supermarkets.
Really it's a doddle food, water, petrol wise, much easier than I thought it would be. Never went more than 150 miles without finding petrol, even when getting lost.
Some of the tracks are brilliant, but it's very easy to see how incredibly hard it would be if it rained. Everything would turn to mud and there are lots of river crossings that are easy when fairly dry but could be much harder in the rain. Don't want to put you off, it was the best ride of my life, but we got lucky with weather. Be prepared!
