What's your longest one driver-one day drive??
I recently moved to Tucson from Houston. I did 780 miles from Houston to Las Cruces (What a great place). No complaints averaged 72 mph with gas stops and construction and got 23 mpg.
Who else has stories?

Chicago - Houston on my E55, done in just over 15 hrs (including 1 hour I was arrested and let go because of speeding), 1,090 miles from my brother in law's house to mine.
Houston - Miami on my Suburban in 19 hours, 1,150 miles, with the whole family in the truck
Reno - Houston ~2,300 miles in 35 hours (including 3 hours of sleeping time) on a 96 Impala SS (this actually means more than 1 day, but it was done as one shot drive.
All of these have been single driver with no help from the wife.

)Anyway, I was arrested, and the police officer asked me if I had $300.00 cash I could post bond, I did have the money with me so he let me go (he did write the bond amount on the ticket, he didn't keep that money to himself)
I was driving upto that point at 140 mph for the most (except when I left Chicago 9:00 am, traffic was kind of bad for a while.

South to Southwest
Little Rock to Tucson AZ straight. Also, Austin to Nashville non stop. Hope, AR...birthplace of Clinton, has the dirtiest gas station bathroom!
