On that route you more or less have to go via Beyneu, which is the armpit of nowhere but everyone's been there because it's the only town of any significant size on the road. There is a lot of nothingness in west KZ and north UZ and you should plan for at least 250kms tank range. Petrol stations are few and far between, most don't have petrol anyway but you can generally get bottles of 80 octane from roadside houses and cafes. Once you're past Nukus heading south things should get a bit easier.
