How the hell am I supposed to drive past gas stations with only an 11.1 gal tank? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Okay, so you still might have to fill up as often as you did with your larger vehicle. You can still get a little (or a LOT) of joy from the fact that when you do fill up, instead of costing you $80, it's going to cost you less than $30. You have to admit that's pretty cool!

That is totally cool

With my Jeep Cherokee, I got 400 miles on a tank of gas for $60, with the Yaris, I'm getting the same for $30.

As others have said earlier, it would add too much weight and for daily driving it wouldn't make sense. But I still think crossing the Sahara on one tank of gas would be cool too

I think crossing the US would be even cooler

Well, yeah, I'd like to have a nuclear reactor and just change the fuel in 20 years or so.

That would be a cool project... Remove the rear seats and make half the interior a big gas tank. That should get you from coast to coast without refueling

well lets see... New York to Los Angeles is 2,776 mi shortest route according to google maps... at about 40mpg highway (maybe higher but to be on the safe side...) that's 69.4 gallons of gas, minus 11 gallons already onboard that's 58.4 gallons you would need to have extra... I wonder if a 60 gallon tank would fit in the back of a Yaris.
