One tank means the round trip fits inside a 400-mile default with roughly 15 percent held back, so every destination below sits between 60 and 200 one-way road miles. Each page sorts the list into five day trips and three overnights, with gallons and estimated fuel cost per trip.
Cities need at least five qualifying destinations to publish here; thin seed coverage leaves a few metros off this index for now.

Data & method
Method: v1 seed model. Round-trip miles are twice the estimated road distance (straight-line times a road factor). Fuel figures assume a 400-mile tank, a 25 mpg car, and $3.50 per gallon. Lodging counts are population-derived estimates. We earn a commission from Kayak links.
