You can sacrifice your spare and go for a toroidal tank, or some rear boot space and go for a cylinder tank. Mine's a 125 litre one, which I believe is restricted to 80% capacity.

BTW: Forgot to say that I still have a weird issue with 'something', so the engine's not running perfectly, which is bound to affect fuel economy.
Neil said that the costs have come down to a level where its about £700 for a V8 and just less than twice that for the W12. (sorry to tell you that!)
