You can get a 172 refitted with a 2L turbo diesel engine which gives about a 38% improvement in range. [1]

I did a bit of research on this about six months ago, after watching a video of some guys who ferried a Cessna 172 via Nunavut and Greenland to Western Europe.

Google "thielert diesel engine" and you'll find a lot of good info to start from.
