I just recently (June 15th) burned through my tank that I filled Jan 7th. So my longest has been:
A hair over 6 months
3611 miles
I will be starting another run here June 30th and this will be dependent on if I swap the car.
 
I guess I am out of the running for this competition... My longest streak has been 7 days without a fillup. I did fillup 4 times in one day (21 gallons): I am one of the ones that really wish we had a 10 gallon tank. 25,198 miles - 440 gallons

Are you saying you get a new car whenever you use up the tank of gas? :)
 
I filled my tank on July 20,2018 and then again June 17,2019 getting ready for a fishing trip where I will again use gas. I actually had to run in HV charge mode to burn up the remaining gas from 2018.

Lol sorry this was referring to oko’s post where they were able to trade in the car and upgrade to the touring for no additional money. I am going to try this and see what the numbers look like.

Nice any idea how many all EV miles over that tank?

There was a story about Red Skelton, who knows if it's true, but it was back in his heyday when he was on TV and making a huge salary. He had a home in Palm Springs and one day he pulled into a gas station near his house for a fill-up in his Rolls-Royce. The attendant noticed that one of his tires was low and might have a leak. Red said "I'll go get another one" and drove off. The attendant assumed that he went back home to get a spare tire. But instead a few minutes later Red pulled into the station driving a different Rolls-Royce.
 
I get gas station remorse for not visiting them as often as in the past, so I fill up once a month (usually in the first week). It usually takes 1 to 2 gal!
 
Best I've done is nearly 2 months. But even when I burn gas, the car uses the least possible. This car reminds me of when gas was $1/gallon. I no longer really think about how much I'm driving to save expense. And I'm more likely to do more trips when the cost to do so is low. i.e. Go to beach for the day, sure, why not? It will cost me less than $5 round-trip.
 
I like to brag about driving on Honda's gasoline for the first 10 months (then I mumble about driving only 4K miles in those 10 months).

On march 10th I filled up at 6840, Now I have 10030 and a 1/2 tank but will fill up in the next few days - trip of 1,000 miles to Las Vegas.
 
Bought my baby on January 21th, filled on Feb 18 and then on April 24th, each time around 3 gallons (less than half the tank). It has 4800 miles in odometer and 2/3 of a tank. Will fill next week before going to Vegas too. If you see there a silver Clarity with an American flag-themed license plate in the front, honk, that's me!
