He was referring to the Volt, which, while it's technically a PHEV instead of a range extended EV, functions like an EV with a range extender gas engine.

My diesel suburban with 40 gallon tank can get 800 miles of range. Put a huge trailer on the back, maybe cut the range in half. Still 400 miles of range.
Each 5 gallon diesel can is +75 miles, plus I saw that gas was running out, not diesel.

Were you ever able to test a higher ethanol content? BTW what would it be running badly? Just a rough start or does it remain bad after that? Eventually, an auxiliary cold-start gasoline injection, such as used in Brazilian dedicated-ethanol and earlier flexfuel cars could help overcoming that issue.

Though I would be quite concerned about contaminations in old gasoline, such as humidity and even algae growth (despite it being by far more frequent with Diesel than gasoline), at least it sounds better than nothing. Anyway, once I accidentally added a small amount of tap water to the fuel tank of a Chevrolet Celta and it actually ran better, but it only did so because of the ethanol content in Brazilian gasoline that solubilizes the water in the gasoline.

I would think that when people noticed a new abandoned car they would siphon the gas.

Free fuel!

If the vehicles get abandoned on the interstate it's probably because they are out of gas.

Anybody actually siphon gas out of new cars lately? Since about MY 2000 American manufacturers have antisiphon filler necks. You can get a quart but that's it.

I've watched them in a scrapyard punching holes through the bottom of the tank! I stood W-E-L-L back.
