Default Gas Tank

Hey guys, I don'tknow if anybody's tried this, but has anyone tried getting a larger gas tank into their car or has no one bothered. A lot of people with this car complain about their gas milag, but I just wanted to know if anyone has done anything about it.

Thanx

Dont know how youd fit a larger tank.

The tank is right behind the back seat, just under the rear window.
Its pretty much squeezed in there

i think the tank is just a little bigger than 16, coz my niddle wasn't at the bottom line and already took 16 some gallons, it's more like 17-18 gallons tank we have
