It seems like my tank has been dropping fast lately. I had filled put in four or five gallons when I was pretty much on E and it put me up to a quarter. Today I completely filled the tank. It took 9.5 gallons and it was full. My gas tank is 17 gallons so I thought it would be a lot more gas. Any ideas?

they say it's 17 gallons, but i've heard different people say they only being able to put in 14 or 15 gallons in the tank max

I've got a '97. When it's on empty (at about 300 city miles on a full tank), it'll take 12 gallons. I've gone as far as about 350 miles of around-town driving on one tank, and it'll take about 14 gallons then. If it truly is a 17 gallon tank, I should be able to go at least 400 miles of city driving, but I haven't been willing to risk running the tank too low. I don't want to run the fuel pump dry.

Every time I fill the tank up, the gas gauge needle is consistently just below full.

You're gas light will be on by the time you devoured about 15-15.5 gallons (est based on me travelling 25miles before I filled up and my fill up amount). I've driven on my gas light in NC for a good day (granny mode!) and filled it up with 16gallons. That was the losing power around moderate turns kind of low.

Also my gas gauge has done the same (7/8 but never full) no matter how long I let it sit.
