yeah you can take it for longer cross countrys for days, i seen it done, just remember the fuel reimbursement is poor. yeah if you can find a mom and pop that has a light twin, and either has a rate that is around 200 and they give you a credit card for gas that would be good, a number of places will give you a dry rate with block time and if that is descent you can maximize savings your self e.g. economy cruise, your building time so you shouldn't be in a hurry to get somewhere, that can save you a lot of gas!
