    Any diesel can drive more than 1000 km with a full deposit. But laws forbid in some countries to drive more than 2 hours or 300 km without stopping.

      I remember similar guidelines being taught when I was in driver’s ed in the US, but I don’t know if there were strict laws around it. If there are laws I would guess it is a state-by-state thing.

        I only recently learned that in the US not every state has annual inspection requirements. In fact it’s a minority of states, only 14, and it looks like the inspection requirements have been reduced in recent years, such as some states exempting new vehicles for a certain amount of time or only requiring inspections for commercial vehicles. Both states I’ve lived in had annual inspections and I just assumed it was a thing everywhere.
