Gas mileage vs tank size, etc.

[ShottsCruisers]

Gas Mileage vs Gas Tank size(s):
*This time I let the "Miles Left" go to 0, the fuel light came on then we filled up 5-miles later. 292-miles CITY...16.1 gallons. 18.1 MPG. 1.8 gallons left...potential range of 324 miles CITY.
**This simply destroys the arguments about how bad it is to have only a 17.9 gallon tank. All other Land Cruisers could not come anywhere close to this range.
***I know it would be awesome to have the gallon capacity of the diesel 500h. Maybe we can retro the 10-gal Aux Tank. to the 700h Maybe not.
Bottom line: A 300-mile range for a Land Cruiser is incredible and not a negative. It's a HUGE improvement.

Yeah seems like where the hybrid system actually works well is to bring that abysmal city up a bit. Makes sense for a smaller hybrid, I guess.
