My Dodge pickup has 35 gallon tank and I've had the infamous
$100 fillup for a time now if I let the tank run dry as I was
once prone to do.

Because the pumps around here have limits of $75 for credit
cards, and only $50 for ATM cards, I now fill up at a bit under
1/2 tank.

But with the help of my bike, that would last me three weeks
(at 16 mpg).
