doing the alcan highway in ford escort. we were driving to get there (ie not hypermiling foot down) anyway got fuel then got to the next fuel stop (closed for season sign) with a little under half a tank and farther to go to the next stop. I hypermiled hard and put 12.6 gal into the 12.7 gal tank. Average for the tank was low 40s which was pretty awesome with the higher cruse speed for the first half.

I also had a 2.5 gal fuel jug in the trunk so not much real risk in walking.
