Manual lists the tank cap at 18 gal. How I made it to the gas station?

Anyone else manage to put more than this in their tank?

 

19.xx gallons, can't remember the exact number. i have a picture of it somewhere.
-GP-

 

yeah I put closed to 20 once after a 460-mile trip to Phoenix, AZ.

 

It's a 20-gallon tank, that's why

 

Dave is right, the first gen sedans have a 20 gal tank.

19.951 was the exact number i filled up.

 

^that is almost dry! Did you top off on that fill up?

 

Yes its a 20gallon tank. I'v put 19 gallons in before. I did 500 some odd miles on my road trip. It average out to 26.xxx MPG. Best iv ever done in this car

 

wow that is crazy!!!

 

Wow odd. My Nav fuel counter was down to 0 miles left before empty way before I've put in close to 20 gal. I know it's probably conservative but it indicates 0 after the fuel light goes on.

 

i filled it to the brim! haha. It only happened because i was showing at HIN San Diego. They dont allow you to have more than 1/4 tank at the show. I was below 1/4 on the way to the show and just didnt fill up. Got on the freeway and halfway home i felt a little sputter, got off on the next exit and filled up 19.951 gallons!

 

and the fuel light goes on when you have 3 gallons left... it's just a safety precaution.

 

AKA one of the "Dummy lights". LOL!

 

I realize that. It's like this. Fuel light = 30-40 miles left on the nav mpg screen. When the nav mpg screen goes to 0 = 17-18 gal on fill up. Now it seems that is conservative also. Good to finally know.

 

When the nav screen reads 0, I normally have 2.5 gal left in the tank.

 

So ive been under filling this whole time lol, if i recall i put about 17xx one time and the needle was slightly over F did any of u break a needle lol
