Going by simple averages, 625 miles in 10-11 hours regardless of location
8 hours (avg 62.5mph) - 8.8 hours (avg 56.8mph) to do 500 miles.
My peak in a 65mph truck was 702 miles in 11 hours, average of 63.8mph, 7.83 hours to do 500. That was heading west on i80 leaving an Ohio service plaza at 3am on a Saturday with full fuel. Didn't top that when I was in a 70mph truck. Think I did 725 in my current truck, but it's limited to 82 so that's not special and I stopped making note of high days.
On average how long does it take you to drive 500 miles

A few years back, I drove from Moriarty, New Mexico to Kingman, Arizona (a 507 mile drive) in 7 hours and 51 minutes in a 65 mph truck. But I’m pretty sure that was just dumb luck. It was also before the dumb 5 mph drive line rule. Nowadays I can do it in about 8-8:30 hrs.

It's fun to do 500 miles with minutes remaining on the 8 hour clock that starts at pre-trip. I-80 I can do this all day being governed at 72 mph now.
DAX_ and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -
I usually stop at the candy outlets and worlds largest gift shops, etc...once I’m empty so maybe 2 days. (But also hourly)
