What's the longest trip you've taken with your C63?
So taking my C63 out to Houston this week for thanksgiving. I'll be driving from Dallas. It's about. 4 hour drive and some. Not very long per se, but the longest I've taken with the C63. What about everyone, what's the longest trip you've taken? Any pointers other than making sure you stop for gas earlier than later

drove back in C, had just under 1/2 tank left.

I've driven from South Bend, IN to Pittsburg and back which is a little over 5 hours. Then a trip from South Bend > Saint Louis > Bloomington, Indiana > South Bend to see Umphrey's McGee, a band. That was about 11 total hours driving.
Nothing but good things to say. Seats are supportive and the passing gear is $$.

Newport Beach where I bought it, to NYC over the course of 5 months and 8k miles. Never missed a beat - GREAT cross-country cruiser.
Had one leg of 700mi from Chicago to State College PA in a day. Have had a number of other day drives of 500mi+. Never a problem.

NY to Wisconsin (and back) -- 17 hours only stops for gas. First road trip with XM radio which is why I'll never buy a car without it again. Loved every second of it.

San Diego to San Jose and back. Went for the AMG private lounge event in Laguna Seca. Almost 1,100 miles in total.
Car was a blast to drive! I was surprised at how comfortable it was.
Had a GTR, S63 and M4 for company on the way back. So much fun! That GTR was pretty hard to keep up with!

San Diego to Denver to Colorado Springs for Shift-S3ctor and back. All in all myself, my buddy/co-worker and bulldog did the trip in 4 days and a little over 2,500 miles. Best road trip car I have ever had.

The C63 is a great highway car. Very comfortable, and enough power to make quick work of the mountains.
Eating up the miles on cruise control makes for reasonable gas mileage but doesn't take advantage of the power.
However, most cars these days have enough power to pass safely, cruise uphill without struggling etc. The main thing is the comfort, noise (wind, tire, engine) and good company and music/news.
700 miles round trip is the longest my c63 has been on for a road trip.
