SO, you DID stop for gas? How many times? Did you start with a full tank, then stop and refuel? Assuming a 30 gallon tank, and 989 miles (Philly-Orlando), that works out to an impressive 16mpg if you started with a full tank, and refueled once. But, that is not the same thing as doing that trip on ONE tank, which was the original statement if I read right, and would then require you to get 32mpg (or for you to have dual tanks and about 60 gallons)



I meant one shot as in minimum amount of time wasted in fuel stops vs what would be needed with an electric vehicle. An electric vehicle could easily be produced that would haul that kind of load but you would sacrifice distance and recharge time.


OK, then I misinterpreted you, because when I say "one shot" with regard to a trip, I mean no stops for anything, no gas, bring coffee, pee in a soda bottle, crap on the passenger seat while on cruise control and holding the steering wheel with a couple ropes...
