Ugo,
If you think that suggesting that the UK government advice to talk to the Italin Consulates of Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs about visa options, is deceitful, may I suggest you review what you consider deceit to be.
Ugo,
The UK government website also suggests that approaches are made to the Italian Consulates in UK for advice on how to get approval for longer stays.
It has some useful 'links' to facilitate/begin this process

""To stay longer, to work or study, for business travel or for other reasons, you will need to meet the Italian government’s entry requirements.

Seems it takes (in theory ) only about 30 minutes longer, and the overall cost is slightly less,allowing for 2 vignettes.
Of course, the return journey would be 80 swiss francs cheaper, as you already have the vignettes
Just checked eurotunnel site. It says -
Fuel:The maximum permissible quantity of liquid fuel (petrol, diesel or biofuel) that can be carried in portable reserve fuel containers on board a passenger Shuttle per Vehicle, is as follows:
