True enough. But, will we see a large enough improvement in fuel economy to yield a significant enough range improvement to make it worth serious consideration? I am expecting an average of about 20 MPG compared to around 16-17 MPG today that people see in mixed driving. Probably the same size tank too. So that's 15 to 20% fewer stops. Not bad I suppose. I highly doubt we'll see 400+ miles on a tank (> 33% improvement from today).
