I read a report some weeks back on the Disco Sport. A small fuel tank and relatively poor economy resulted in filling the tank every 350 miles or so. Pathetic. That's half my current distance.

Totally agree, personally I'd always go for as large a tank as possible. The nominal extra weight and slight loss of economy when full is easily compensated for by the convenience factor of not having to fill up so often.
