Location of Gas Tank
I am considering the purchase of a Fit, as it seems like a great car.
Everyone here loves their fit, so this may be the wrong place to bring this up...
Is anyone concerned about the location of the gas tank?
To make the space for the magic seats in the back, the gas tank is located under the driver seat...
The driver seat is probably the safest place in the car, so perhaps this is the best place for the gas tank as well...any thoughts on this?

gasoline in liquid form only burns. it has to be imulsified into air to be explosive (exactly what a fuel injector does).
a nearly empty fuel tank is more likely to explode than a full tank as there is more air inside for the fuel fumes to mix with.

The only place I wouldn't want the tank is at the very rear of the vehicle where it could rupture if you get rear ended.
Think Ford Mustang where I seen so many cases of those catching on fire when they got rrear ended and the spilling gas getting set on fire by the exhaust.
