I’m not a big fan of SUVs, to be quite frank. Not just because they are gas guzzlers — personally, I just don’t like big vehicles that aren’t trams, buses, trains, or airplanes. But, I have to say, this upcoming Mitsubishi plug-in hybrid SUV looks pretty nice:

This MPG gives impression that what troubles you is not how much you’ll spend for going from point A to point B, but how far you can go with a full tank. Have you enough fuel to reach the next oasis?

fear that you’ll get stranded on some point of your rute. This unit reflects range anxiety, and is a relict from the early days of motorisation, with pumps rare and far between.
