I tend to do some long trips here and there so my gas doesn't go more than 2 months-- still awesome. My car currently has 1/2 a tank of gas. Normally my brain says, oh geez better get gas soon. But with this car, I think who cares. I don't know when I'll be using gas and will worry about that if it occurs.

I love filling up at home. I love not waiting in line to get gas at busy times. I love that energy cost has pretty much become a non-issue for my commuting.

In addition to what you mention, I also love the fact that I truly don't care what the price of gas is anymore. The fluctuations that used to irritate me aren't on my radar and when I need to "fill up" my Clarity I honestly don't care what the pump price is where I buy it. 5 gallons at $3.85 (CA prices) vs 5 gallons at $4.25 is only a $2 difference, not enough to even think about.
 
I filled up (6.403 gallons) on Dec 12, 2018, with 5,956 miles on the odometer. Today I still have 1/2 a tank and 16,728 miles on the odometer. I have a trip to FL planned for end of September so I will not be able to make the gas last 1 year to see if the clarity burns all the fuel at a year like the volt.

Yes, I agree completely. And occassionally I even want for higher gas prices to try and move public opinion toward more fuel efficient options. At the same time I care about poor people who have a commute and high gas cost hammers them (and they may not afford such a nice car as Clarity).
