Drive more efficient cars? With bigger tanks? The small sedans I usually drive pretty much always have ranges of above 800km (500 miles), and my range record on a single tank was with a turbo-diesel 405[0], with careful driving and a 70L tank (huge for a mid-range sedan, I recognize this, most mid-ranges are around 50L these days) was above 1400km (870 miles).

I generally do drive somewhat efficient cars. My most recent car, an old Outback, is the worst I've ever driven at 28mpg typ.

It's just been my experience that more efficient cars have smaller tanks.
