HMMM: Late model, 14 gallon gas tank, 300 miles seems a bit chancy. And 
then there is the issue of driving at steady state for 300 miles (and 
without going to sleep).  About the longest "no interruptions" I know of is 
109 miles on the turnpike ( if you have a SunPass). And any stop or traffic 
jam (or just a rainshower) is going to negate things.

Padgett,
150 miles out, top off the tank and 150 miles back, sounds like a valid test 
to me and that's 300 miles.  Do the test out here in the West, wide open 
spaces and lots of heat.  I've driven 4 hours continuous at 75 mph out in west 
Texas and Kansas and several other western states.  No toll roads or bridges and 
if you check the weather ahead of time, no rain.  So the test is doable.
