Hi, I think it would be great to have a 600 mile range on a gas tank. I have been driving a Taurus for the last 3 years and the range for city driving is only 200 miles. The Taurus is a good car but, the most annoying thing about it is that I need to watch the "trick" gas guage so closely. Full is about a quarter inch past F. Empty, is when the needle is around the quarter mark. The needle on half means there are about 3 gallons left. People have asked me if I am sure about this and I am because even though I have never run out, I have seen the unmistakeable signs of being close to running out including sputters and the like. The issue with being able to calculate a 600 mile range though would be that it would need to rely on accurate MPG figures which are not always the case. MPGs vary based on terrain, weather and other factors.
