Need all the tips I can get for long road trip

Definitely as above - charge more than when you're told you have enough to reach the destination. That's a 10% buffer, but I shoot for 15-18%.

Also, the best advice I ever received (and sometimes the hardest to abide) is start slow, finish fast. Drive under or just at the speed limit for the first quarter. See how your trip chart looks. Speed a little if you can, and if your estimate looks good. Keep speeding up as you go. The opposite (finishing very slowly) is no fun.

Good advice. Ideally you should be able to skid in to the SC at max speed (just like Dukes of Hazard)

maybe not quite like those boys would do it but you don't get bonus points for arriving with more energy than necessary

Check wind speed and direction. This will affect your range the most.
