I think the real reason is there is that no need for bigger gas tanks.

- IIsi50MHz 5y agoBut I'd need >1100 km range to make my road trip between family cities without stops, and each stop substantially increases travel time, even if refueling and paying are all I do. Still waiting for a ground vehicle that I can pilot* on ordinary roads and highways, go a bazillian range units without stopping, and thereby usually avoid the dramatic'ly worse flying aggravations compared to when I was grammar school. (^_~) * not technic'ly "driving" when you're not behind the thing that you're causing to move. Although really, any linguist would acknowledge that in reference to ground vehicles, the verb "drive" has acquired the additional meaning of the verb "pilot", so I'm just being silly.
