"Loneliest road in America"? Not even close. Next time you're out that way, if you want to get out of the traffic, try Nevada SR 722, which runs a bit south of that.

Longest actual coast would have to be California 88, from Carson Pass at 8650 ft east to Woodfords, maybe 15 miles. With a little bump over the hill out of there, it'd get to maybe 20 miles, ending somewhere on the flat stretch into Gardnerville. (I probably could do this in one coast, if I didn't have to brake to stay reasonably close to the speed limit.)

The other way, going west, has a couple of climbs, but I can get nearly into Stockton (about 65-70 miles) with the trip mpg display still pegged at 150 mpg.
