Narrative:
I flew a night round robin cross country. At the last airport prior to my final destination, I planned on taking on fuel. Unfortunately, the FBO (that sold fuel) was closed. I elected to continue to my destination with the remaining fuel on board. I landed safely at my destination. There is a slight chance I had less than 45 mins (night VFR reserves) on board at destination. However, I don't think that was the case. To assure my position as a safe private pilot, I'm filling this form out.
