The 2.4 gallon tank gives an extra 66 miles of range, so 27.5 mpg. That doesn't sound so great.

For some reason, the US model only uses 1.9 gal out of that 2,4 gal tank, so the fuel mileage is a bit better than it appears. The EPA has it at 39 mpg. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=35207&id=36016&id=35279&id=36030 |

For the long haul, constant speed is pretty frugal, so shouldn't make you need too big an engine.

Yup. My Jetta only needs ~ 20 HP to cruise at 55 MPH.
