Not just slow, but possibly dangerously slow when entering an interstate. Many on ramps (in Ca. anyway) are throttled with red lights to limit merging traffic rates. Sounds to me like the accelerator pedal would effectively be an on/off switch.

VW has managed a jump from mid-70 mile MPG with their Golf to a 214 MPG car?

I’d think that you could find a diesel pump for every 2,000 miles.

I guess I’d have to get used to looking for truck stops.
