I wish the Yaris did come with a larger gas tank. 11 gallons is not big enough. That said, I can drive from Indianapolis to Chicago and back on the same tank.....driving home on fumes maybe, but still can make it!
You get so used to the 11 gallon tank, but I would love a larger tank!

Not much larger, maybe a 13gal tank or so. That extra 70-80 miles the 2 gallons would give would be wonderful! I could make it through a full 4 days, instead of pushing it close with only 3.5 days. That's closer to a full week on one tank...

Well, if you're going to install a collection tank then you should install a dump valve behind the rear axle to take care of folks that tailgate.
Just a thought, S.R. |

Hm. Been done, by an unnamed group in the trucking industry. In order to undercut the legit drivers, they pile 3 or 4 guys into the cab, fill the tanks and go. They change drivers on the go(!), and relieve themselves through a hole in the floor. Now, the local scales have mirrors to check the underside of the trucks, and any hole in the floor results in immediate seizure of the truck and contents. Bad enough to be following one of these rigs at an inappropriate time, but can you imagine servicing it? Oh, dear...

Airplanes have in-flight refueling. Why can't we pull up next to a fuel truck rolling down the highway, swing a probe over and top up at 70 MPH?

For some reason this post reminds me of my old '944... the gas tank was for the 12MPG Turbo S model with the 3.0l DOHC turbo engine, but I had the 'stripper' 30MPG 2.5l SOHC NA engine. So yeah, 700-750 miles on every tank of gas was worth the SUV-like fill-up price to dump 20-odd gallons into the 944. That car be made for road-trippin'!

gas mileage
Living in the midwest, alot of our gas has ethanol in it. I tried an expirement and ran a few tank through that had no ethanol blend at all. My gas mileage average went from around 32 mpg in town to 36 mpg in town. Something to think about.

Most if not all the stations in my area are 10% ethanol. And actually I haven't put gas in my car that wasn't a blend in many months now. So if thats the only type of fuel you have to choose from then this isn't going to help.
