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

distance without stopping - especially in the UK.


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.

Which means you are using only motorways when touring abroad?

My destinations are usually at least a couple of days' motorway travel
away. Whether or not I use the car once there will depend upon the
destination. Places like Vienna or Berlin are best seen on foot or using
public transport. The Black Forest is somewhere to tour around.


You spend your holidays driving????
Boring.
