That's great to hear. This will be my first trip out west to Moab, so I really don't know what to expect. From YouTube videos it appears that most people stop at "Maverick" for gas before the trails, so I'll probably be doing that every morning too.On the fuel situation (I keep being drawn to yall's convo!):
We did the entirety of WR trail.
We fueled up in town, drove out there via Potash, which ate more fuel than staying on pavement to Shafer, then down.
We did the trail, came up Mineral Bottom switchbacks and the forever-long dirt road of Horse Thief trail back to pavement.
All the way back to town to fuel back up, and I don't think anyone was below a 1/4 tank.
Several of us brought extra fuel just in case anyone in the group (we were mildly concerned about the 2Dr members with the smaller capacity), but none of us had to tap into reserves.
Granted, most of WR is a 2Hi or 4Hi situation, but the avg. speed for the whole trip around it was probably at most 10 mph.
For what that's all worth, hope it helps.
