Good video, and good real world experience. His driving style on the road pretty much matches mine when solo. I only stop to fuel, which in the FRS is about half his frequency.

So, in the 86, in 1000 highway miles, assuming I start full, I'd have to refuel twice, for about 20 minutes. If you throw in a couple of quick rest stop breaks we would probably be up to an hour. Some "rest stop" breaks might be early fueling breaks so overall it probably works out to an hour either way.

So, in the end, it took him about 2 hours longer than it would have taken me (if you extend his trip to the full 1,000 miles). Not awful, but not insignificant either.

BTW, I realy enjoy his videos, but (and this applies to all similar videos) I don't get why this had to be filmed in a car. There was nothing the car added to the video and frankly I found it distracting.
