Through poor planning on my part and not being very observant, I ran the G passed the "E" mark! I would say it was the needle's thinckness passed before I finally realized, "Hey, dumb ***, you need to get gas!" I filled the tank and put in 18.5 gallons. So when you're gauge reads "E," you still have about two gallons left.

 

For your car that may be true. I certaintly wont try it on mine unless I have a gas can in the trunk.

 

I think the manual says tank capacity is 20 gallons.
Although only 18-19gallaons can be really used.
I max I have gone is 17.5gallons. Usually its ~16gallons.

 

The car has a 20 gallon tank...but the needle reaches E around 16-17 gallons.

 

Our tanks are 20 US gallons. The low fuel light should come on at about 3 gallon level.
It seems Nissan erred on the side of safety as far as fuel level indication.

 

I notice that when the fuel lamp turns on and I immediately (within 1 mile) fill up, I can squeeze about 16 gallons in before it starts overflowing.

 

I have 4 gallons when the light comes on. On time I was on the freeway and continued to drive(knowing I had 4 gallons left) and when I did stop for gas I put 19.5 gallons in. By far the lowest I have take my G.

 

I put in 19.8 gallons in one time. Yikes! I was running on love, LOL.
