I think for most Americans a 6-7 hour drive is a fairly long drive.
Most of the population are near to urban areas. For me, I am 2 minutes away from a convenience store, Walmart, Lowes (Hardware) and a bunch of restaurants. Since I got out of the Navy I have not had to commute more than 20 minutes to get to a place of work.
With that said, I do enjoy driving and a couple of times a year do trips that encompass anywhere from 40 to 100 hours total driving time in a trip. I am in the middle of the country so the East Coast is about 1200 miles or so East of me and the West Coast is about 1700 miles West of me. Rocky Mountains are a 8 hour drive west, Smokey Mountains about a 9 hour drive East. Canada 12 hours North, Mexico 16 hours south.
