hey guys, today my car ran out of gas but i was right near the station so i just kinda rolled in. i filled up fully and it would only take 17.5 gallons and i couldve sworn that the tank held 18.5 (i think i got that from the haynes manual). so how much gas will the tank actually hold?

 

i think its 17.5.. should be in the owners manual

 

18.5 US gallons.

 

well their is no such thing as UK gallons

 

well why the hell did i run out of gas if the tank holds 18.5 gallons? any ideas?

 

how many gallons are there beyond the full mark?
i drove about 80 miles or more before the needle dropped past F

 

RTFM

 

why do you care? you shouldn't be driving around with the gas light anyway.. just get some gas and stop trying to figure out why you were a gallon short

 

yea, i shouldve gotten gas earlier, but i my gas light is really confusing and i wanted to go to the cheap station. when you fill it up all the way and start the car again it will only go to the 3/4 mark and it takes a few days to get all the way to full. then just below the 1/4 mark the gas light will flash on and off at different intensities at random times and then kinda fades out. around the E mark itll cut on and off, but wont fade out any more. does everyone elses light do this or is something wrong w/ my gauge?

 

nah none of them are accurate.. i am a p#ssy.. as soon as i see that light come on.. i run for the first station.. even if i only get 2 gallons that i can run to a cheaper station.. i run there.. i just don't like getting stranded
