It's not uncommon to have to carry additional fuel in your vehicle to last the distance between fuel stops....
Basically, if you're in a vehicle up north, you're going to be noticed at some point. If you're on foot, you're already dead.

The Kangaroo 87 exercise worked out that an enemy coming in against any opposition at all could expect to lose 50% of their casualties due to the terrain, climate and fauna alone.
