I can get 40-80 miles out of a 5 gal. can, that's enough to keep me comfortable in most of the western deserts-
Yeah I don’t get that.16 hours is like 1000 miles. I don't think even a Jetta TDI can go that far. My TJR, I'd need 70 gallons. WOW 16 Jerry Cans.
I'd have to leave the wife and sleeping bag at home.
Even my wifes Subaru is breathing fumes at 500 miles.
Only once have i carried extra fuel and never needed it. I have been driving 48 years and have never run out of fuel.

Guessing you were seeing 20-21mpg average based on my last 19yrs with Subarus?My latest off pavement trip in the Subaru was 15:38hrs on 681.82km (423miles) of road using 19-20gal of fuel. I was carrying 10 gal reserve.
I'm planning a trip to see if there is a FSR that connects Gold Bridge BC to Riske Creek BC

yes, there is a route. I don't think it is all FSR, I think a short bit of it is just resource road. My last trip thru there was 20 plus years ago in a YJ, I never carried extra fuel. I don't think the distances between gas stops are ever 100 miles. Gold Bridge, Lillooet, I think Gang Ranch sold gas too.... altho COVID might have closed Gang Ranch. I was planning on doing it after the Overland Rally in Whistler last summer.... but that got cancelled. The Caribou is Gods country, I love the high elevations. The canyon and bridge over the Chilcotin River is spectacular at sunset. Definitely spend some time around there.I'm planning a trip to see if there is a FSR that connects Gold Bridge BC to Riske Creek BC
