I can go 500 miles in my 85 911 on one take of gas if I drive just the speed limit. I have done it many times. If I kick it up the average speed most everyone is going it drops to 450 miles.
On the track, I can lower that to 8 MPG. Almost all WOT, or on the brakes, and at Charlotte Super speedway for a HPDE I was hitting 130 or so, and I used 3/4 of my 21 gallon tank in three 20 minute sessions on track.

On road trips with the wife, like the trip to Lake Placid and back, 3,800 miles total distance. It is pretty much 24 hours of driving each way. With the wife on board, we broke it up into three days. Two days were 9 hours and one 6 hour day. If I had gone solo, I would do two 12 hour days and save motel costs.
I know if I want to go to Flagstaff, AZ to the great hotel, it is 911 miles from my door to their door. There are a many stops for bladder relief. Once I get to I-40 which is just a few miles from my house, it is easy navigation. Just stay on I-40 the entire trip.

I used to be fine with 1500 km on my own, just knock it out of the park then hit the pub Those days are OOOVER Le mans return trip 1000 km kicked my butt.
