When you do the Rubicon...?

[Akers87]

how much extra gasoline do you take with you? i tend to find the better line than just gunning it up or through an obsticle, figure you break less this way too, any way just preparing for this summer.

when on the Rubicon...

how much extra gas do u bring/ go through. i tend to find the better path over or throughan obsticle rather than mashing on it. i know it will be different but i need an idea for this summer, thanks in advance.

Re: when on the Rubicon...

Fill up before you start and you should be good. I've never needed to add any gas on the trail.

But if it makes you feel better, a standard 5 gallon jerry can would cover you.

Never took any gas, just what's in the tank. Fill up in Placerville, run the trail, and fill up again in South Lake.

Fill up by Ice house road, and you are good till Tahoe side. An empty 5 gallon container never hurts though

Last gas is the new station at Fresh Pond. From there, it's about 1Hr to the trail head. Ice House Cafe has the last gas, but they may not be open. You can carry five, but you won't need it. The trail is only 18 miles.

1 hr to trail head from Fresh Pond? you drive slowwww Gotta take those cliffs and curves a bit faster Kidding, but what cdaddy said, I think unless your rig is burninga lot of gas, you shoudl be able to make it with a full tank to Tahoe, no prob.
