I recently decided to see how low I could get my gas tank to figure out maximume distance from a tank. There was a pretty funny Seinfeld episdoe about this with Kramer driving a Saab for miles and miles after the car should have been empty.
Our owners manual lists the tank at around 23.3 US Gallons. I went for a good 50+ miles with the orange light on past where I'd normally start looking for a station and when I filled I attemped to top off twice until he handle clicked off immediately (could hear the gas splashing in the fill neck).
Anyone want to guess what the total volume sold was...
25.54 gallons!!! (and yes, I checked the ground to make sure it wasn't spilling out anywhere)
I'd be skeptical but the L&I stamp was 2 months old, it's a smaller family run station in my home town and I know the family would never try to cheat their customers and the pumps are new within the last year.
What's the most anyone else has ever put into their tank?
