Here are some tips to not run out of fuel:

  1. Step climb. Gain altitude as you burn fuel. Here’s a guide to that:

  2. Always make sure you’re using the correct fuel planning. Here’s an awesome tutorial by our very own, @Brandon_Sandstrom:

  3. Use trim while flying. You want your nose to have a very slight pitch while flying.
  4. Don’t make it so that you are extremely overweight. You can use @Chris_S’s website: FPLtoIF.com
