Depends on how many times you want to stop, but they had a 67 gallon auxiliary tank.
Seems like they would have consumed around 450 gallons or so (maybe even a bit under since it seems 6 MPG was how quickly they were burning at top speeds, and they might have hit close to 10 at times). Their 67 gallon aux tank plus the 20.1 main tank means you're likely looking at 5 stops along the way. US limits pumps to 10 gallons per minute, so that's 45 minutes of pure fueling time just for the gas consumed. They could maybe cut that in half if they're able to stretch 2 nozzles at the same time, I can't imagine they can do that every time, though. So with a short off/on at well-planned fuel stops, I'm sure the absolute minimum would be 1 hour added.
