[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7939129, member: 718"] Why so? I’m all for large fuel tanks, even on relatively frugal vehicles. Same goes for tractors which I always aimed for a good 10 hours absolutely flat out, full power, between the need to refill. With cars/pickups, a 600 mile range while driving long distance is my target. Never have achieved it with a pickup but then again never actually travel far from home with it. £90 is only 60 litres at today’s pump price. That is only 13 gallons, which is also just under the size of my Honda CR-V’s fuel tank. Not at all big and considering the size and duty cycle of a modern pickup I would wish for about an 80 litre tank, ideally nearer 100 litres. The ridiculous part is the cost of fuel per litre, not the size of the fuel tank or the pickup’s fuel consumption. A 100 litre fuel tank will cost the best part of £150 to refill from near empty in today’s market. The car might still achieve 35mpg though, like a current Audi Q7, giving a comfortable 700 mile range. [/QUOTE]
