So, i have read the manual, and seen all the online sites about the 05 coupes and they all say the tank holds 20 gallons.
I have let the gas run down to the last empty line. The gas light has been on and the DVD NAV trip computer says shows that I am almost out.
However, when going to the gas station, I have never been able to get more than 17.5 Gallons into the tank and the gauge reads full.
With the needle at (and even slightly below) the empty line, I find it extremely hard to believe that the tank still has 2.5 gallons of fuel left.
Does anyone else notice this on there cars? Did I just get a limited tank size?

I ran mine out COMPLETELY and the needle went WAY past the E line. I got about 75 more miles after the low fuel light went on. However, I dont remember how much it took to fill it back up.

In an effort to make sure that drivers don't run out of gas or even let the level get low, Nissan has made the gauges very optimistic: They show empty, but in fact, as you have found out, the tank still contains a couple gallons. Originally Posted by Superman

I personally have drained my Coupe tank down to almost 20 gallons by putting in 76 liters. That was long after the gauge read bellow empty, the low fuel light lit, and the Navi saying "Distance to empty: **** .

Most cars will show empty, or have an empty light come on, while still having a couple gallons left in the tank. If the empty light only came on when you were actually out, you wouldn't need the light....you would know because the engine just died. Originally Posted by Superman

Once the NAV goes past "0" miles to empty and reads "****" you have 2 gallons left which means you've got about 40 miles of city driving to get to a station. I usually let my NAV go to "****" then I look to go to a station. I drive mostly city so finding a station takes all of 2 minutes but I wouldn't recommend it if you do mainly freeway driving.
