I'm not on forums often, was surprised to still get responses! After that trip it doesn't seem like sol to BP is possible, yet, but a trip from Colonia to BP probably could....maybe I will make that my next attempt to push the limits further....I still have some brain matter left over from my last fuel scoopless run. Maybe I will attempt before distant worlds 2, try to reach BP at the same time and have fuel rate already there waiting so I can make it back to bubble.
Just flew from Sol to Sagittarius A to Colonia without a fuel scoop

It's certainly possible. A large jump range and economical routing allows you to cover many, many times the distance you could cover with near maximum jumps. So whereas a 70 LY Anaconda would use 8T of fuel to do a 70 LY jump, it could do 35 lots of 2 LY jumps and maybe use only 0.4T of fuel in total. Or putting it another way, that 8T of fuel would allow you to cover 1,400 LY.
Aren't you a bundle of joy...
In case you haven't noticed up until now jumping distance and fuel consumptions doesn't scale in a linear fashion. Ever wondered what the "economic route"-option when plotting jumps in the galaxy map does? Yeah. You're welcome.
But of course, it's the game that is broken, not the paradigm that's apparently been in your head all this time. Best of all, call OP a potential liar just for good measure.
Amazing, congratulations [up]
He could call me a liar all he wants...don't really care...us veteran explorers of the game that have pushed the game to its limits know whats possible and what can be accomplished and discovered. Thats all that matters in the end for us....let people choose to live in the dark if they want.
I did something very similar....Shinrarta, to Sag A* to Colonia. Only difference was I did the max jump for my ship each time, and refueled at every jump. So it's kinda similar....well....ok...exactly the opposite 
Joking apart, that is an incredible achievement CMDR. I hadn't even realized it was possible, so never even thought about it ! You are totally insane, but deserve a medal. Or locking up in an institution LOL.
