Mpg And Range, Just A Thought

[TCBronson]

If I am not mistaken I believe the Elio has an 8 gallon tank which at 84 MPG would give it a range of 672 miles which is impressive and most people won't do that in one sitting. That being said and looking for even more bragging rights, what if Elio increased the gas tank size to 12 gallons, then the range would be 1008 miles and I believe there are no other cars out there that can do that. Can you imagine driving for 1000 miles without having to stop to fill up! I would have to stop to empty my tank before filling the Elio's tank.

Just a thought

Neat marketing idea... It's definitely give you bragging rights. "What kind of mileage do you really get with that Elio?". " I don't know. I've only had it a month. I haven't put gas in it yet!"

I will try to do 100 mpg hypermile trip when I get mine. If possible it would make it 800 miles. Maybe if you sacrifice the rear seat you can get a 10+ gallon tank optional.

...or just set a removable expansion tank there... Totally not a good idea in the passenger compartment. You'd be hard pressed to drive a whole tank's worth then!

Well I mean like a factory option to take a larger tank with no back seat sorta like a cargo Elio model. Many cars gas tank are serviceable under the back seat.

Maybe I missed something, why would anyone need a vehicle that could travel800 miles on one fill-up. Me, I'd need 3-4 pee stops (with no traffic)

672 miles is about 9-10 hours.
A tad much for me. It had better be a comfy seat.
