(Or also none of the above, I suppose...)
Larger tank (21 litre); softer tune (softer cams, smaller TBs, totally different ECU). IIRC, highest mileage on a tank was ca. 225 - the last 25 of which were spent promising goodies to the gods if they made a petrol station appear.

There's also a mod to the vacuum connection of the fuel pressure regulator, which is said timprove fuel consumption; haven't tried it myself yet, but I believe Keith (old git) has - I'd like to hear what he has to say on this.
