That's going to have to be a very long run.

The Saturn's first stage alone carries 4.7 million pounds of fuel/oxidizer, and I think it burns pretty much all of it in relatively few miles. That's a lot of Porsche fuel tanks ' worth of gasoline. Of course, the car's fuel/air mixture gets very, very rich once past the ionosphere.
