Suggest you fill up in Constitucion.
No gas till Centenario, unless the Pemex station in Las Pocitas finally opened. Wasn't in August.

And pay no attention to Longlegs. She has a wicked sense of humor. But...IF you go the burrito route, make sure you bring matches.:biggrin::biggrin:

There are Not lots of Stations between Constitution and La Paz.!!

Motoged. Be sure you fill up in Constitution and when you get by the airport on the North end of Constitution slow down!! about Half a mile on your right is a good Station.

Ged, if it doesn't fit inside the gate, then you can have Vandenberg's long-term parking spot right in front....plus some garage space if needed for any items which might get feet & wander off!!:yes::yes: Just U2U me for directons & potential ETA.

Hola Skeet/Loreto, sorry, wrong choice of words. there are gas stations between loreto and la paz.

with a 200 mile range, there would be no problem. the biggest problem would be between jesus maria and el rosario.

BIEN SALUD, DA RAT

Whoooaahhh, boys :o

1) That is a 200 KiloMeter range, not miles...

2) I know there is gas at Catavina, Lake Chapala junction, and BoLA junction as well as in town BoLA, so El Rosario to Jesus Maria is not the issue unless you are fixated on the highway driving a gas guzzler and don't like gas out of a hand-held container ...

3) the question was between Constitucion and La Paz

It is 130 miles (209 km) from Constitucion to La Paz... and Centenario is about 6 miles before La Paz... You will just make it (if there's no headwind)!

2 extra Gatorade bottles as a safety valve!:light: Easy to stash, just seal them with some duct tape. I used to do it in the mountains and desert with my motocross bike. All my buddies had desert/ xcountry bikes with larger tanks.

We always carry a siphon hose in Baja. Newer cars won't allow it, but older cars, tractors, etc. do. Most ranchers will sell you some gasoline from their stash. By the way, there is a man in La Pocitas who sells gasoline out of 50 gallon drums. We have used his services. One of the constants in Baja is that the next gas station may not have gasoline. With bad weather the barge cannot make it across the Sea of Cortez and even stations in La Paz run out of gasoline (those that do have looong lines). Last year Guerrero Negro had no gasoline on our return to the US in March. So it's best to have some alternative or you may be waiting at the station with a bunch of other folks for a while (days).
