the your´s longest trip...
Well..i would like to know what´s the longest trip u did while driving, in one day, or two, without stoping to sleep, just to refuel your car.
How many kilometers(or miles) was it and how many hours it lasted.And, if u wanna tell us, how it was..heheh
Well mine longest trip was to a city here in São Paulo State, Brazil, called Caldas Novas. I live here in São Paulo city and going to there will take about 920-1000 km...if it´s not more, because i didn´t calculated it exactly.
But it´s in this house, and i took it in just 9 hours and some minutes...just stoping to refuel, off course, it was on my dad´s car, and my parents were sleeping on the trip for some moments. It was cool, the roads i took were so nice so i could get 120-130 km/h of average speed(remember, my parents were on the car, and the limit is 120 km/h, so i couldn´t got that fast, or i would be throwed out of the car by my dad)
and i just refueled once.
It was a boring trip because i coud not got so fast so i was listening to music to relax. But anyway it was cool, and, in the end of the trip i wasn´t tired, i guess i could drive for more 5 hours or more. But my parent´s were, so...we stoped to sleep.

The longest trip in the car ive done without stopping is from Seattle to Los Angeles. I wasnt the only one driving but I did drive for about 8-9 hours straight and the whole trip took about 19-20 hours of solid driving. We only stopped for gas and food.

i would like to make a 24 hour trip around São Paulo State...off course, when i get my drivers license to be allowed....here we have so many good roads that u can put in them 300-km/h or more...so when i get my car i´ll make one this way...driving 24 hours without stoping..hehe it must be cool, but so tiresome!!
off course, i´ll make some trips with less hours on the driving of the car to get used and don´t stay tired, before this long trip...but it would be nice..hehe

Longest consecutive trip for me is Atlanta to Chicago. About 12-13 hours, 750 miles. I actually fell asleep at the wheel at one point and found myself in the other lane drifting. Luckily, no one was around me. I quickly got off the interstate and took a nap.

9 hours. From New York City to Syracuse, NY. Normally it takes about 4 hours but I took the wrong exit and ended up in mid-section of Pennsylvania. I drove through some freaky town that has thick fog, no light poles, no gas, and alone at 12am. 0X OK I'm a wuss.  ops:

my longest trip driving myself goes from the north of South Carolina to Brighton, Michigan with a trailer full of camping equipment, gear. I averaged about 11 miles per gallon, couldn't tell you how many stops, except it took about 12 hours. i dont recall how many miles, but id suppose it would be 600-700miles as there were a lot of stops on the way back. on the way there, we stopped to stay at a lot of separate places separated by no more the 150 miles.
beyond that, i regularly make 220 mile trips that take 3.5 hours to my mom's house, and 120 miles to my dad's house.
