It's a long standing tradition with TDI's to see how far you can go on a single tank of fuel.

My personal record is 1252 miles according to the factory odometer on factory sized
tires.

Filled ALL THE WAY OVER the top; ran 200+ miles after the low fuel light came on there were more bubbles in the clear fuel line than fuel when I did refuel.

Lots of EOC, never exceeded 50 mph most of cruise time was at 40 mph, no A/C use at all, same 40 mile each way trip for quite a while helped quite a bit also.
