Combine that with a hectic 32 mile one way commute and you can see that a 350 range would give you 5 full days between fill ups where 300 would give you 4 and a half days. Not the end of the world, but could be a PITA.
When I use to ride my Supermoto to work I had to fill up every day, it sucked even more that I could only add about 60%......just a little more capacity could have made fill ups every other day.

Well now, SCQTT your example of using a supermoto type bike for a commuter vehicle is a bit apple and orangeish compared to your average car.
So, as you showed, a person with a 64 freeway miles roundtrip commute to work, should be able to commute for at least 5 days in a FR-S before filling up.
My thought is that if anyone is too damn busy on a weekends to stop for 5-10 minutes to refuel .......they are heading for a mental or biological breakdown ....... then they will have lots of free time ......
