Re: longest unsigned interval between gas stations. speaking of Nevada, the one gas station on US-6 between Ely and Tonopah is out of service, so the distance between services on 6 is now 168 miles. however, if you take 318 (old US-93) down to Preston, there is a station there, cutting maybe 10 miles off the distance.
For example, if you were cruising at 5000 ft. and the DME indicated 5.1 NM as in the illustration, your ground distance to the station is about 4.9 NM, a 3% error. If your DME reports 30 miles, still at 5000 ft, ground distance now is 70 ft shorter than the slant range, an insignificant error.
