There is enough information out there these days to plan every stop along your chosen route! If you find there is a long stretch without gas, you need to stop at the start and end of it, and plan the rest of your route around that stage.

I've done 700-900 miles in around a day many times and to cover high mileages there is no choice but to stop at service stations that provide gas, food and drink, and a gents! Service yourself and the bike at every stop, also stretch your legs for a few moments.
