As some of you may know, I have had several 900+ mile tanks over the last few months. I am flirting with the 1000 mile tank and figured I would start logging my stats.

I will add more details as to tricks and techniques as I have time.

I have 18 gallons of useable fuel onboard, so 55.6 mpg average will be required. (I will not entertain fuel capacity arguments)

Currently I can maintain 56+ mpg for 700+ miles on my weekly commute. The weekend errands have been what has kept me from the 1000 mile tank. I started this week with a 230 mile head start as I filled up in Ohio on the way back from Lordstown.

Go for it.

That's what people said when I announced I was going for an 800 mile tank in my ECO MT.

 

[trevor_geiger]

You can do!

 

[UpstateNYBill]

Good luck! Push it to the diesel pump if you have to! lol

Your on track . You'll need to get you distance travelled and distance to empty to add up to about 1100 miles at about 1/2 tank..On my best tanks I've had the total to 1040 miles projected and come up just short.. With the mods you've made I think you have a real good shot at the holy grail.. Good Luck

you are getting more out of a tank than 2x 200 gallons on a over the road trucks. This is great to read awesome.

I think I can do 900 miles to a tank not sure about a 1000. Go for it. It is pretty darn amazing. :eusa_clap:

I was able to get 800 once, but my driving is too varied and I have a lead foot when taking off.

 

[sparkman]

Hope you can do it, it sure looks like it's possible.


Has anyone ever got to over 1000 before?

Not to my knowledge. Definitely none reported here.

I had two 800 plus mile tanks last week, I think I could hit 1000 with no to little a/c and speed of less than 65 mph. But yikes that isn't a lot of fun.:grin:

 

[Sperry]

Best I've ever got is around 970. Averaged about 57 mpg

 

[Snipesy]

You're cheating

It is going to take pushing the limits of the fuel tank to make it.
