Not planned as such, but I made a long non-stop road trip recently in
my CLX.  When I reached home I found that I had driven 410 miles in
about 7 hours.  The MB comfort had made it an easy task.

Later I realised that it must be the longest continuous drive I have
ever made.  No fuel stops, no comfort stops. I had some sandwiches and
some drinking water onboard to keep me going.

However, I'm sure that others can beat this.

You are right...here is one just a little better.....I did about 530 miles
with my 95 SL320 when I picked it up in Kansas and drove it back to San
Diego. It was a comfortable ride, but I started to doubt the accuracy of the
gas gauge but it was right on.

I don't see why, provided it is not too often. Given that your bladder
is in top condition....  :-)

Circulation.  Nothing to do with bladder, though I do admire yours...
Recommendation in our neck of the woods is to take a 20 min break every 2 h
or so and stretch one's legs.
