Not as tough as you might think, just nerve-racking but definitely not stop and go traffic.

Based on my usage, I look at 300 tank refills. Assuming that 13.2 US gallons is the usable fuel in the tank, I calculated the remaining miles to empty for each tank based on its MPG calculation.

Out of those, 186 would have been over 400 miles before empty, the max being 483 miles, most well over 400. The minimum was 383.

About 80% of these are from my standard commute (40.1 miles one way, usually takes me about 60 minutes, so avg about 40MPH but divided at about 80% at 55MPH and 20% at 0 to 35MPH).
