Bigger Fuel Tank?

I have a 2012 Honda Fit and I believe it has a 10.6 gal fuel tank. I was wondering if anyone ever swapped for a larger capacity fuel tank? If anyone knows or has a best guess, how easy/difficult is this and how big do you think I could go and is this even possible?

Best thing would be to increase your MPG. Have you heard of hypermiling?

Speaking of efficiency, don't use two threads when one will do.
