There is no gas at Puertocitos. There is a gas station and in the summer you sometimes can find the guy who runs it and he'll open up but that hasn'
happened in a while.
The next gas afte San Felipe going south is at Gonzaga Bay and that might not be reliable on a holiday weekend...they always run out then.

paul, I know it depends on route and cc's but 112 miles is a stock tank and a gatorade bottle with gas. A stock xr tank makes it on reserve. a desert
tank makes it with more than a gallon to spare. What bikes? and are you riding the main/graded road, or are you taking some washes in and out?

There is no gas at Puertecitos. However, if you are really stuck, go up to the Conasupo and ask the lady to page "Panama" over the VHF. He is an
American (no a naturalized Mexican citizen) named Jay and the local mechanic. He might be able to help you.
As the other post suggested, the next real gas stop is Gonzaga Bay at Rancho Grande.

We plan on driving the main road to Gonzaga bay on Jan 2nd. I have a YZ 400 with a 3.2 gal. tank and my dad has a stock tank XR 350. Do you think we
will have any problem getting a few gallons once in Gonzaga. Thanks Paul

Tunaeater, we will be most certainly camped on the beach south of Alfonsina's, south of the palapas on 1/1 through 1/3. We have a White F250 SD and a
green Toyota Tunda. As long as there was plenty of gas to the South in BOLA and/or Guerrero Negro, we'll have several full NATO cans full of gas. If
you have no luck at the store, come by and visit us, we should be able to share our spare gas,
Gene

Gene, thank you very much for the offering of your gas. We will take you up on your offer if the store is out. Again thank you very much. Your
generosity is much appreciated. Paul
