I remember once driving from Phoenix to Tucson and decided to take the "scenic" back way (Superstition to Florence and then on to Oro Valley and to Tucson). Well...I didn't remember/realize that there were no gas stations once I left the Florence area (lots of prisons however) and I ended up turning off the AC and driving 55 mph and barely getting to a Chevron station in Oro Valley. so...yes...range can be an issue for ICE cars as well.
