I dont think that we should consider one tank of fuel as a road trip. I have a 1.9 TDI in my 83 Rabbit pickup its gets good mileage BUT I have a 33 gal tank in the bed (off of one of my wrecked NPR's) plus the 16 gal under the bed........I refill at around 2000miles......... that is more then a road trip. I think a road trip is anywhere that takes one out of the driveway for an hour or longer. Like from Abq. to Santa Fe with only one stop to check the air in the rt rear tire. ;o) nuff said..Well put - I prefer the "Blue Highways" but don't always have the time for it. Still, it's a state of mind.
To be an official road trip I'd say it has to be more than one tank of fuel. Overnights are optional but preferred...
I hope you made it easily on 1 tank!My longest road trip was a 9 hour drive one way to Eugene, Oregon from Modesto California to visit my girlfriend for the weekend. I'm planning on repeating it on the 25th.
I frequently drive between Austin and Ocean Springs, MS (600+ miles) on a fill up at each end, and I might fudge a bit on the speed limit!Taking my vacation out to California for 2 weeks on June 2nd. Final destination is Chowchilla. 1,681 Miles from my place to my Moms. should be alot of fun. Hope to join the 600 mile tank club
8,754 Miles
