Although avoid anything with ethanol if its an option - although its getting harder to find now that Gull isn't offering it any more. I think mostly it's now Mobil and some BP outfits offering 98 - I suspect that as less stations are stocking the 98 option the 96 won't be as much of an issue as most people are either 91 users or 98 so the poor middle grade gets a bit stale!

just take a little bottle of gas with you just in case you will get a pretty good feeling for how much you use after a few trips one of those stainless-steel drink bottles that hold about a liter would make a perfect little reserve gas can and take up next to no room
not that hard to take spare gas

I will take a couple of 5L cans with me and some more oil; I am away for a week but won't be motoring around all the time. Just dont want to get stuck in teh middle of nowhere rowing! I will know by the end of the trip I suppose.
