The most gallons you have pumped into your fuel tank
I know it has been discuss on this forum before. Is the stated gas tank size of 17.1 gallons is the actual real volume.
I was driving my car the other day drove it down to 0 miles on the range - then drove it for another 10 miles. Filled up the tank - and it came out to 15.1 gallons. Thats still almost 2 gallons shy of the listed volume.
I was wondering what is the highest gallon anyone has ever filled their gas tank with.
BTW - I still haven't seen the final verdict. Does any one know if the tank does really hold 17.1 gallons?

I beg to differ on that one. If that was the case then why would the guys at the track run 1/8th tank and getting 13.089 #'s? I know it is to save weight, but if it compromised power then noblody would do it. The fuel pump is gonna pump the same regardless, unless it is so low that it starts to spudder. Which in our case 2.1 gallons after it says 0 miles to empty.

Are you being serious? The car's horsepower and torque are not dependent on a full tank of gas. Weight slows down a car, and one gallon of gas weighs betwen 5.8 and 6.5 pounds. That's around 103 pounds, just from a full tank of gas. Running on 1/4 tank reduces that weight to around 26 pounds, which should never result in your car feeling less "powerful".
