My theory why many people will never stop buying gas guzzling cars

They fill to $20 and don't realized that not everyone has to fill up as often as they do.

I'm trying to remember where I heard that automakers install tanks large enough such that people need to refill every 2 weeks.

Which, if you have a 40-gallon tanks, means that you're carrying around a lot of fuel unnecessarily a lot of the time. (I think some SUVs have 40-gallon tanks.)

My vague recollection was that the federal gov didn't allow 20+ gallon tanks on non-commercial vehicles. Which is why Ford had pick-up trucks they sold with 2 19 gallon tanks and a switch to swap between the two of them (which is what the farm truck for pulling the horse trailer had).

I was putting about 12 gal in every 2ish weeks when I was working.
