Range

With very few exceptions tank size is based on the car type and purpose. City cars have small tanks, large cruisers have big ones. Most supercars have pretty big ones, except the ford GT lol, SUVs are a step up from cruisers, full sized trucks a step up from that.

True, maybe only certain models would have tank options such as the pickups and SUVs? I know my truck had several options as did the SUVs based off of my truck. Maybe this could be region based, Euro models get "average" tank sizes whereas North American/Russian spec cars would have "above average" tanks? This might be all too complex in the end though, this is not a simulator afterall, just a tycoon game.

I'm changing my opinion about range as an explicit parameter. I can't think of situations where I'd do something other than common sense (an F350 with a 100 range anyone?), and the ability to do something silly with fuel tanks will likely cost a more useful feature. Range should be swept under the rug in favor of something more interesting.

Tow rating is part of the utility stat.

While I understand that fuel range is not really needed in the game, where I live range is a consideration.

For instance, there are still a few paved roads where it is litterally 100 miles of nothing. We often tromp arround the back country roads getting half of the rated fuel economy. Then there are the ranchers. When they go out to check their herds hauling a trailer or just loading down their truck, and getting only a small percentage of their fuel economy, many have added custom oversized or additional fuel tanks.

But yeah, not really in the scope of what the game needs.
