I doubt many people actually need a 600 mile range. Few would drive that

I bought the long range tank for my car specifically to give me a better
range than that for when I go touring in Europe. I won't do it non-stop,
but I also don't have to buy fuel at motorway prices.


Where do you stop for the night? Not on a motorway, surely? So buy your
fuel there?


Precisely. With a 600+ mile range I can fill up at whatever town or city
I stop in for the night.
