On Vital's request:
There isn't just one Vitali set: each choice of representatives of the equivalence relation on $\mathbb{R}$ given by $x \sim y$ if and only if $y - x \in \mathbb{Q}$ yields what one calls a Vitali set. You can arrange them to have any given positive outer measure you want.
There are many threads on this site where Vitali sets were discussed, among which:
