Yeah I wrestled with that one for a while... but on a percentage basis 6.5
gallons is 40% greater capacity.

There are two kinds of travellers out there those who drive leisurely, make
lots of stops, get out walk around, etc. Then there are those would much
rather drive straight through without stopping.

I fall strongly in the second category, I would rather have my co-pilot take
over the controls while barreling down the highway at 60 mph so I can open
the sliding door to take a leak than to god forbid pull over. A 40 % greater
driving range means I can go that much further.
