That's the ticket! If our "old" normal cars only held a gallon of gas, we would have learned to drive carefully and stretch that out a long time ago. But with 15 gallons in the tank, you just worry less. Just like we wouldn't be having this discussion here if we had 15 i8 batteries installed - without the added weight.
