Alligator Alley is probably still as barren as it ever was.  However
given the 200+ mile range of a Sprint it is no problem.

I left my home in Clearwater with 100.0 miles on the tripmeter since the
last fill up.  Somewhere between Sarasota and Fort Meyers (as I recall)
I filled again -- 100.5 miles later.  Then I continued south on I-75,
across the Alley to Fort Lauderdale, then north to Boca Raton and back
to Fort Lauderdale before stopping to fill again after 220+ miles of
riding, much of it at triple digits.

Like I said: no problem.

You've gotta love this bike!  :-)
