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.
