Not sure. On my SG it shows .2 GPH and my tank has a capacity of 12 gallons. Even if I only had 4 gallons in it would run for 20 hours. But I wouldn't run it all of the time if I was stuck.

Some people did try to get out and walk to the service station to get food and warm drinks etc but the police were telling them to stay in the cars - its illegal to be a pedestrial on the motorways here. A client who was stuck did give a reply to the police which was not polite, and continued on his walk.
