Mark,

refueling adds an hour
to your trip and the break to stretch your legs helps prevent
fatigue on really long trips.


IF there is an airfield with fuel along the route. Which often isn't
the case.

It's pretty rare not to find fuel within range in the US if you're east of
the Rockies or west of the Sierras. So, I'd think it's "often" the case if
you only fly in the stretch between the Rockies and the Sierras. ;-P
