This is WAY incorrect. I have a mk1 Scirocco(Same size tire well as the Rabbit) If you put a 55 gal tank, the dia of the tire well, in the Rabbit it would touch the roof(At the least). You could maybe fit a ten or twelve gallon cell in the well and there would be no room for a spare.
Heh, whoops, forgot to divide by 4 w/ cylinder area. Yup, there's ~12gallons of space there, maybe 7-8 gallons w/ a donut. I suppose towing a couple drums would be the easiest way to extend range. Although, ~65mpg@55mph should be doable, which is ~1200 miles right there. 30 gallons worth of storage should increase range to ~3000 miles with a ~200-300lb weight penalty, or more if a trailer is used to haul stuff too.
