Do you have the same range anxiety with a gas car? Why not?

Did you even think this through before you posted or are you being spergy and pedantic on purpose?

If I run low on gas I can pull into any service station and get my entire 336 mile range back in 2 minutes. I would need hours to charge an electric car and the only place I could do that is at my house.

If I wanted to go down the shore for a day (60 miles each way) the Leaf would get me there, but then I'd only have 15 miles of range left and no place to charge, effectively stranding me.
