But I think you forgot, that not everybody is driving around with a wheel. I'm a convinced keyboard player, and as long as noboby invents analog keys there is only binary gas pedal, zero or full throttle. And when I drive around with full throttle (you have to when you dont just want to stay around) a full tank is just enough for about 80 km in average. Most I ever reached was 105 km, less ever was 65 km when I was automatically teleported to the nearest gas station, what was half way over the complete map.
So I unfortunately had to turn off the fuel option, it's no good cruising around with so much fuel consumption and far away from realism. So I support anybody who says that a full tank has to be enough for at least 2.5x the current range.
