Its 3 days to do the Salar - a bit over 100 miles of hard-ass riding each day. You follow tracks, rather than roads, with a lot of soft stuff (not so much sand as fine gravel).
One day into the Salar then south to San Juan where there's housing/food for the night (no gas unless you can talk someone out of their personal stash).
Another day down to Laguna Colorado where there's housing - primitive, but definitely better than the alternative. Also, no gas.
Third day, you can get to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
Then one more day to get over to Jujuy/Salta, Argentina where you can figure the rest to get to BA.
For gas purposes, its just over 300 miles from Uyuni to SP de Atacama - similar distances from the towns on the north side of the Salar.
