600 Miles on a Tank, but Engine's Expensive Using a full tank of fuel to power the motor, you could conceivably drive from Detroit to New York about 600 miles with no need to stop.

Few people drive that far. Its still cheaper to hire a good auto mover to take your car when its a long distance destination and then drive the car there when it arrives.

I got that kind of mileage from my Volkswagen Jetta diesel back in the 70's.

Now we're to have orgasms because an ultra expensive battery will push a lightweight car 40 miles and then the engine comes on to recharge the battery?

Something is missing from this scenario.

To GM: good luck selling these.
