.... George; some gas joints from the /5 era are abandoned on
rt50 these days. Where you can get in fuel problems is if you
take the side trip into Great Basin NP and "enjoy" the road
going in & out...and UP the mountain!! If westbound at least,
suddenly the distance to ELY, as stated on the sign just west of
park entry road... where the fuel light comes on just after
passing it... well, you slow down for about an hour
