Going for 1,000 mile tank

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.

Wow, 1000 miles. That'd be awesome! The longest tank I've had wasn't even 1000 km's in my CTD. I just don't get much opportunity to do long highway drives and even when I do, it is somewhat hilly around here. I hope you make it :)
