Question on system readiness.

I cleared my system status a few days back. Just getting ready for an inspection. There are no codes. In hindsight I perhaps should have left well enough alone. The EVAP check has not completed yet. I've driven her perhaps three times and probably not more than 50 miles. My question is, is it a matter of start run cycles or mileage or both?

Found this:
"Have the fuel tank between 30 and 70 percent full. Some systems, especially the EVAP system, need to have a specific level of fuel in order for the tests to be trusted. If the fuel tank is near empty or completely full, many of the basic tests will not run at all."

My tank is still near full, perhaps I'll need to take a wee trip Saturday.
