I read the 14 mpg for both highway and in town as place holder numbers. I can't imagine that the highway mpg is the same as the in town rate. Maybe I'm suffering from wishful thinking.

But EPA DOES have a say, no? Tell me how many APPROVED petrol expansion tanks that aren't factory options, or simply transfer tanks are out there. Not one-offs, not fab jobs
There aren't many...if any at all. I know there are some Aussie manufacturers out there for Yotas and such that may? be approved, but require importing. Which is fine...because I CAN get a tank for an LC200 It's a small production run, bespoke, luxury vehicle, built from outsourced parts.
Agreed.
Should have bought your T-shirt from me! lol
But it wasn’t supposed to be a luxury vehicle. Therein lies the pricing disconnect. And, quite frankly, it’s not a luxury vehicle.

A $90k SUV is a luxury vehicle. Even if it's missing all the luxuries of the other $90k SUVs on the market.
When you look at counties with a high VAT and remove that, it was reasonable to think that the starting price could have been a decent amount lower. I'm about $10k higher than I expected with my build, but that is before any dealer install or other markups. I'm registering at my hope in Montana, so thankfully no sales tax added for me.I hate to say I told you, but . . . I told you.
Americas - Cost for US Market
I stumbled across this trying to figure pricing.. Those are the 2-seat variants, correct. There is however the base spec 5-seat Station Wagon at $98K vs the 2-seat above (if you page back and go down through Station Wagon)... hang on I’ll paste below. If I go back through my saved configs I...
I'll just quote myself here from months ago: "Youtube reviewers speculating the US version Grenadier is going to go for $50k are smoking crack. I won't be surprised if it's double that."
Like everyone, I wish the Grenadier was cheaper. But it's also sort of darkly amusing to read the reactions here because the pricing is basically exactly what I predicted. With taxes, a decently specced Trailmaster/Fieldmaster comes out at around $92-$94k. Vehicle tax is 6.25% here in Texas, plus about $1200 for title and registration. Delivery fee of $1200-$1800 is pretty standard across all brands, so you're realistically looking at just over $100k USD out the door. Pretty much what I said in my very first post on the forum.
There was zero chance this vehicle was ever going to sell for $60k the way the talking heads on Youtube predicted. Those guys consistently underestimate real world costs by multiples of tens of thousands of dollars.
It's going to be a very difficult uphill climb for Ineos to gain any meaningful market share in the North American market considering the large number of capable 4WD vehicles on the market.
Many of us have been on this journey a while. Three and a half years for myself. So when we started this journey the price expectation was much lower... they have also said priced to comparable spec'd vehicles in the market IE Jeep Ford Land Rover.
And no property tax either. You want a roommate? I will take up no room.
Yeah, I can see that. I made my reservation in November. Fair point.
Perhaps he's crying in his pint...You know what I find interesting... not a peep from @Stu_Barnes today.
Precisely, it wasn't to be a G Wagon in training, price wise.
