I agree with Mark, petrol is not that big an issue. We carried a (US) 2 Gal can each from Mexico to Argentina. The only time we needed to use them was between Arica and Iquique in Chile (over 250km with no gas stations). Then found the next one 5km down the road at Pozo Almonte :-).
It is nice to carry the fuel as a safe guard, it makes you feel easier and more confident in some of the less populated regions.
But if you bear in mind that every where you go, people are driving around in TukTuks or small CC bikes, and they need fuel. There is generally a fuel station at each end of most small conurbations (IMO).
