> What car do you drive that does 500+ miles per fill up? My civic will do maybe 450 miles of only highway driving on a 13 gallon tank, and my E350 will do barely 400 on an 18 gallon fill up.

Hmm, every car I've owned so far?

Renault Megane (1996)

Renault Clio (2009)

Volkswagen Scirocco (2012)

Ah, no wonder you think 'filling up a petrol car to do 500+ miles takes <5 minutes.' You've only ever owned go karts with lawn mower engines that have weaker emission standards compared to their US counterparts.

The Volkswagen Scirocco is a 2L TDI which isn't actually sold in the US, so I'm not sure how you came up with that conclusion.

Besides, you're completely missing the point anyway.
