Yes, you will get tritium even without spot in fact. I cannot compare what is more effective way spot/double spot but ...I can say into LTD spot I see a lot of tritium.
Tritium as fuel

whaat? any human readable plz?
I will copy from another post which got idea here;
I think I got idea what they did.
Let's say u're in LTD spot and scan. Random says 2 yellow rocks with LTD. Then 2nd tritium random says 5 more tritium rocks. Now instead 2 you see 7 rocks. So your total chances to guess proper LTD went from 2/2 to 2/7.

Actually I never intend fast trips, my trips generally tend to be quite slow and take many months, often a week or more in one area, ideal for FC use, but what I want to be doing for those many months is exploring, not mining Tritium. A slow trip where I spend most of my time mining Tritium as opposed to a either a fast or slow trip where I spend most of my time exploring? Guess which I choose! Hmm maybe we could have a refuel service, we just pays our money and a couple of days later a NPC freighter turns up with 1,000t of Tritium, that would do me.
You still can mine. My idea does not stop your from mining.
If your not going to mine (with a group) don't expect any pitty or support for being utterly lazy and blind.
And it's not that big of a deal to get trit that everyone claims it is in terms of fueling a carrier.
At least my group is very confused over the complaints as we've not had that issue.

I don't have "group". My friends don't play games, any.
Any way game supposed to be played solo. Full refuel is about 120 man-hours. So if you mine 4 people, sure you can do in 30 hours. But for 1 man is a bit long.
Also money lose factor. Why to waste time on cheap trit if you can do anything more expensive then 40k/t (50% of mats) and sell that, buy trit and have a profit. Except in Void. Not fair.

I reckon that if you put a post up on Inara's bulletin board (or perhaps here) offering a very good price for Tritium, there will be people who would be happy to fill a T9 with nearly 800t of it in the bubble and fly it out to you, even if you are a few thousand ly away.
In fact, once I'm alot lower on fuel than I am now, I might just do that myself, see what happens.

Distances less then 30000ly are not to mention as you can have enough fuel there and back. Problems start latter. It was viable to fly to caravanserai, rebuy full fuel there and fly more, then repeat on back trip mining LTD on the go. Now this way is broken too.
Only if you want to go back.
Sure I want, why I wouldnt? >: Why to bother carrier at all with all stuff on board.
What is the principial difference going there and going back? Same uses for carrier.
If someone wanted to head out into the black and leave the bubble behind forever, Tritium availability is the only limiting factor at the moment. Exploration and UC installed will more than cover upkeep and paying for people to deliver Tritium to you (if that works). Also UC being there means that you don't end up flying around with billions of exploration data, risking it every time you jump into a close binary system.
Additionally, having all your other ships with you means that you can do whatever else that you want (ok, apart from trading and combat, but even then if you had others on board you can combat amongst yourselves).
In order to be able to do any of that, a carrier is extremely useful and the bubble is not necessary. So yeah, I can easily see that some people will not want to come back, or at least spend years out there.
So the main difference between going there and going back is that going there is open-ended, but going back is probably based on need (for Tritium).
Then I guess your just up a space creek without a space paddle. <waves> Have fun being lazy and broke.
Nothing in life is fair.
Not sure what should it mean ..
Yeh ...also...you may want round trip. That will be some like 300 000 ly, To do that on current setup you must fly to the center to refuel each time.
It is slow enough to be non-trivial, it takes 25% of my money and in addition I must pay for it weekly.
Not sure how 120 man-hours to refuel adds my interest to it.
P.S. It does not spawn NPCs to kill too around as stations do ...
So as for me it is "feeling of safe home near me", just it. No single logical reason to jump it out of bubble otherwise. Remote unreachable stars are already mapped by others. So that was 1 time run.
It is not, actually
