Narrative:

Approaching dallas love field, we were on the gregs 1 arrival. At the last point on the arrival, our final fix put us on an extended final. At this point the arrival would have us vector to 80 degrees. Since the runway in use at dal was runway 13L, we continued as to be on extended final for runway 13L. Both the captain and myself mistook the published final vector and stayed on a 130 degree heading past the intersection. When we had the airport in sight we informed regional approach that we needed to start down. This caught his attention and he advised us that we should have turned at the previous intersection. At this point we had passed it by 25 mi and he vectored us around for the approach. Although the trip was uneventful, we felt that there may be the potential for this to happen in the future.
