Miles in one day?

How many miles do you travel in one day, roughly?
I shoot for around 300 miles. That works out to 6-7 hours of travel.
When I went to the Outer Banks last August, it was 294 miles, and approximately 7 hours (with stops for gas and food, of course - and as I recall there was a problem at the restaurant where I stopped so I lost some time there).
I'm planning a trip next week that looks to be about 320-340 miles (depending on the route I decide to take), and I'm estimating that will take about the same amount of time.
Looking back, the most I've done in one day while towing was 370 miles, from Alexandria, VA to Dillon, SC, home of the famous South of the Border, where I stayed for the night. That was a long day but I was able to do it because I had that as my goal; coming back on that trip I didn't make it nearly as far the first day.
Note those trips were all while towing a car, so I'm moving more slowly, especially on hills, than I would be solo.
One time, I drove it 600 miles in one day, but I wasn't towing a car. That's not something I intend to repeat, and it only happened because something had delayed my start on that trip one day. (In retrospect, I should've delayed my arrival at my destination one day, too, but I didn't.)
