Well, that's about 30 miles worth of gas. On a recent trip I averaged 65mph and never put more than 3.3 gallons in the tank. The 3.3 was after 206 miles so that tank only averaged 62.4 mpg. At that point I had almost a full gallon gas in the tank. Given that I'd say that 250 mile range is reasonable. Personally, I'd hesitate to carry extra gas unless I were really going into the wilderness. Yes, there are places where the next gas station is 100 miles away. That still gives me 150 miles of safety just in case the place I was counting on is closed. Seriously, this happened to me once in UT and the nearest station was 60 miles away. At any rate, with my luck any gas can would somehow defy my best attempts at security and I'd end up with all my stuff soaked in gasoline. On a related note, I see that the RC3 has a 5.2 gallon tank. Wonder it that tank fits the RX3?
