Probably about 2 minutes. There is a stop sign at both exits for my neighborhood, but even if I roll through them, I wouldn't make it through the 4 traffic lights unscathed.

ETA: 2005 Z71 Tahoe

I don't know, I usually stop at places during long drives (4+ hours) to talk around, piss or get some chicken strips w/ honey mustard or etc.

Waco,TX to BR in a Ford F-250 leaving early in the morning so the kids wouldn't wake up.

I remember it well.
When the wife opened the door at the house I saw a rat tail coming from small hole in the door opening.

When I shut down the Diesel engine it jumped out of the engine compartment and ran toward the trashiest house in the neighborhood. I had a good laugh! That rat knew where the trash was.

936 mile trips from Horsham, PA to Birmingham, AL and back. About 15 hours on average depending on traffic/weather. Just two stops for fuel and coffee and one piss break usually so close to 8 hours non-stop driving. 2003 Ford Ranger, no cruise control, flat split bench seats, and usually my cat as a passenger. Audio books from Audible really help. I make monthly trips to Memphis now, 6.5 hours is a piece of cake.

I've always wondered if those bed mounted tanks could do that. Cool.

I drove my grandfather's tractors during plowing season for 12+ hours without stopping or refueling.

That count?

As for distance I can't really say since I was either going in circles or crisscrossing the fields.

ETA - John Deere 8440 with 8 wheels and fuel capacity 156 gallons.

I think that’s the kind of answer the Op was looking for. Arse on the seat till destination. Make of vehicle , time and distance. He commented on reader comprehension. My observation is that it is getting worse countrywide. People can’t answer a direct question because they don’t really understand the question.!!! Same reason lots of folks can’t follow any kind of instruction’s or directions.

Why would you start a thread asking this question?

99% of vehicles have standard gas tank sizes so you’ll get three different answers at most.

Then you got the duellies with backup tanks. Then you have commercial vehicles.

Thread over in 1 page. And pretty boring.

I can't imagine driving 650 miles without stopping to take a piss and getting some crap gas station food.
