hey I was just wondering how large is the accords gas tank is? aint it 17? correct me if im wrong but I refill every 130 miles and I only put in like 7 gallons each time... my gas gauge is broke , how many miles do you think i should go max on one tank??

17 US Gallons it is for all 5th Gen Accords (that is unless the bottom of the tank was pushed up and you lost some volume)

375 miles on 17 US Gallons @ 22mpg (winter-time)
440 miles on 17 US Gallons @ 26mpg (Summer/warmer)

At 130 miles on 7 Gallons, you're only getting 18mpg. But really, how far can you go in Smithfiekd?

it's 17.1 gals for all accords since 1994

If your present mileage (18mpg) holds true for longer driving intervals (like a drive to Georges' in Galilee, RI) you can expect to suck fumes after 306 miles. I suspect your suppressed mileage is due primarily to short trips. Longer trips should see better economy (If they ever get around to removing this D...m Snow)

At which point you run out, claim salvage rights and keep their ride.

Snow, what is that? Hahaha. You may be laughing at me in the summer 95 degrees, with 100% humidity. I'm sweating, just thinking about it.

No, the low fuel light is warning you that if you keep running the tank down to where the light comes on you are going to replace a fuel pump and if it's a 5th gen or older you gotta pull the tank.
