I hope you didn't cover those 1162 kms in 7 hours straight at an average speed of 166km/hr

My bad I checked again and the distance is correct which is 1162 Km however the duration is incorrect.
The time took is 18 hours and 23 minutes to be precise.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake and getting it corrected

Re: Maximum distance without a break

I drive a underpowered vehicle compared to todays standards Indica Vista TDI. The max. I have done without any breaks is Indore to Nashik 430 kms in 8.5 hours. I had taken a short pee break of 1 minute but engine was not shut down.

I have done Pune Udaipur in 17 hours approx, a distance of around 930 kms. The highest average speed I have achieved is 64 kmph on Pune Indore route.

I use following calculations to estimate journey time with my family.
National Highways - 50-55 kmph average speed
State highways- 45-50 kmph
State internal roads or bad state highways included - 35 kmph.

Above thumb rules I have derived from my own driving experience.

The slowest average speed I have achieved is 26.7 kmph.
Covered a distance of 320 kms in 12 hours, route - Indore - Ujjain - Agar Malwa - Jhalrapatan - Kota.
Road condition inspite of being Ok, the road was single lane and infested with slow moving trucks plus lot of curves and mad villagers in their boleros. I also suffered a puncture and a power window failure enroute. I would never take this route again in my life.

I am not mentioning the dismal speeds and distances which I achieved during my Ladakh trip

Re: Maximum distance without a break

I did a Jaisalmer to Bombay (1100kms appx), way pre-covid. Took me close to 22hrs. I had to come back pronto from a holiday. Took few breaks.. and I would never like to repeat this again. Ever. Was literally on fumes when I hit a huge truck jam at Vasai, around 1-2am.
The thing is, I regularly do Bombay-Banglore (again pre-covid), around 990kms in 12-14 hours max.. and not much exhaustion.

Re: Maximum distance without a break

Shirdi-Madras (via Aurangabad, Hyderabad) 1422 km in 24 hours, this was with meal and tea breaks.

Without a break, I've done 460 km between Dharwad and Shirur through Pune. This was at night, took a fuel stop at Kotur at 845 pm and drove non-stop reaching Shirur at 300 am.
