“More often than not it proved unnecessary, but there were multiple occasions where the practice saved me from running out of fuel in the middle of a busy interstate spur or bypass. Topping off like that in an EV on a long trip would add hours and hours to an already long trip.”
That’s a good point, and it is actually MORE IMPORTANT in an EV to worry about traffic jams, as you will eat up battery charge trying to stay warm (or cool) in EVs, where’s that’s only a very small factor for normal cars.

Next time you are sitting at a light or in a jam put up your mpg display and watch it tick down!
