I think you meant to say "The moral of the story, IF you are planning on flying around the world, is to provide as much room for fuel as possible". Most of us are quite happy with 15-20 gallons. I flew non-stop back from OSH to Alabama on 16 gallons of fuel one year (with a slight tailwind), averaging about 42 mpg. KR's are about the most fuel efficient airplanes in the world, so I would not make fuel storage my overarching mission requirement unless I had a really good reason...
