What would you consider to be "super long range"?

I carry 91 useable which can keep me flying for about 6 hours plus res= erve and put me about 1000 nm away from home. Can do this with 600# of peopl= e but no luggage.  

Would be interested to hea= r what other ES's are doing. 

Longest logged f= light has been 4.4 hours and 730 nm. Landed with 26 gal remaining.  Mad= e for a long day.

I know a lot of people think it's cool to be able to say a p= lane flies with full tanks and full seats but IMO if pilot + fuel doesn't br= ing you to gross the tanks are too small.  

The firs= t time I saw an ES and how big the wings are I thought "Wow, wouldn't it be n= eat to fill those wings with fuel and make a super long range machine."

I can imagine engineering considerations but I wonder i= f anyone knows for sure.
