Where do you carry your spare gas?

It's pretty much like the one in the link. It mounts on the tailgate hinge and is sideways to the tire

700 Km at least? That's like 435 miles. 800Km is close to 500 miles. If I could get that, I'd be real happy.
My little 2-door v-6 isn't seeing that kind of range. Filling up when I still have a 3 gallon reserve, I'm struggling to get 300 miles. That requires me to do the vast majority of my driving on the highway & be gentle about it. Typically I'm looking for gas after 250 miles, or sometimes less.
My MPG is in the range of 16-20 (7-8.5 Km/liter or 4.2-5.2 miles/liter), depending on how I drive. My tank is said to hold 18 gallons (70 liters). Do you have a bigger tank?

Even taking into account your smaller tank, but also that the 2 (3) door is lighter than the 5 door, your consumption seems higher than I would expect. I imagine that you've checked/serviced it for efficiency?

My numbers aren't far off of the US gov figures for expected MPG, therefore I never thought to check it for efficiency. Actually, I don't know how to do that test myself, so I guess I'll have to scratch around to find somebody. Thanks for the reference info.
