I've logged every fill-up since December 2003. Most I've put in was 14.526.
As I understand, total capacity is 15.9, with a tank capacity of 15.4. Warning light should come on with approx 2 gallons remaining.
Cheers,
Oranje

I've been consistently getting 15-16mpg with the N-flash(*). Today's tank was 15.4 mpg. (About one tenth of that on the highway.)
I've run out of gas one time in the 8. That was about a year and a half ago when I got a nasty surprise to find out how severely limited the post-amber range of this car is. So learning the hard way, I have a feel for how far I can push the miles.
For today's fillup, the pump shut off at 15.3 gallons, but then I topped it off.

*Edit: Correction, I have the M-flash, not the N-flash.

Neither of these problems happened with that 15.51, and it is rare that either ever happens to me. (Although learning how much was too much came with several mistakes.)
If you've spent time in the Navy like your name indicates, then I'm sure you're intimately familiar with how regulations are targeted to the least common denominator. Until I learn of some other problem with topping off my tank, I plan to continue packing these extra few miles of range on board.
