Yep good idea - got to Fitzroy Crossing no fuel not expecting any for another 4 days!
Quick thinking - airport got a tank full after a call out fee, credit card fee $ bloody expensive avgas price - grumpy refueler said don't tell anyone else. We got airside by telling him we needed fuel for a chopper, he worked it out when we filled the car.
