Nearly ran out of gas in Iowa - not much of that around there either! A blessed relief when we finally found a small station - on reserve and running 'light'.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Been there, done that myself.
Not sure how long ago you were touring Iowa, but it's a lot better now than it used to be.
Thirty or forty years ago, when Mom and Pop shut down the gas station for the night, you were out of luck if you pulled in and needed gas.
Now there's lots of convenience stores that either stay open all night or keep the pumps on for you and your credit card.
But there are still plenty of small towns with no gas stations at all, if you're riding the back roads in some parts of the state.
