I like the Fusion, not really interested in a Hybrid, but they are a nice car.

If a car can reach 1300 miles on a single tank of gas in normal everyday driving conditions, then I’d be willing to pay a bit of a premium for it.

However, no car is there yet. 1 Fillup a week vs 1 fillup a month, yea, that’s justifiable in a higher cost over the lifetime.

I generally have to pee well before 1000 miles, so that capacity isn’t of much use to me....

Then the manufacturers will reduce the size of the gas tank for production models of the car. No point in hauling around the extra weight when extra weight means lower mileage and the weight allowance and volume could be used for something else.
