I want to spend as little time as possible at the fuel station, I would like a larger tank, the benifit of carrying less weight by not filling all the way up to me is outweighed by the time to drive to a station and the amount of fuel used everytime you are there pulling up to the pump and so on. My car is almost always empty but at times I carry 2 to 3 cases of water around (to lazy to take it out) and never notice any difference in MPG.

My goal is to fill up once per week vs my 2 to 3 times per week with my other car that only got 16 mpg.

Make? Model? Year?

1998 Cadillac Deville D'elegance... I love that car, but its having some issues and I am in the process of replacing the Northstar (Deathstar) V8.

I have had my Yaris only a few months and I like it, but I drove my Cadillac one day just around the block and wow it has so much more power and its 50 times quitter at all speeds. I normally average 16 to 17 mpg driving in city but it gets 26mpg on the freeway.

I also have a 98 Dodge RAM 2500 v10 4x4... 9 mpg in the city and maybe 13mpg on the freeway.

Wow, what an interesting trio of vehicles.

I agree! I think any car with less than 14g capacity is almost criminal...if I had another 2 gallons or so, I'd have enough range to fill up every other payday (monthly ).

... Though I'll admit 500+ miles is pretty good range, on a roadtrip it'll outlast my body in those awful seats Toyota put in.

45,7mpg this tank, played with fire a little bit and got 519miles out of the tank before filling. Sweet!
