Default Gas Tank Question.

According to the 5th gen Prelude manual book, it has 15.9 gallons of fuel capacity.

But howcome I only need 11 - 12 gallons to get full tank with my car? The empty light was on and I fuel it all the way up to 11 gallons only. This is not a one time thing either. Thank.

Uh, because when your fuel light comes on you still have ~3-4 gallons left? It's call a warning light, not a your empty light.

Yeah, the fuel light gives a very generous warning...you will still have lots left.

Even if you run it bone dry, I've never been able to fit more than 14.5 gallons in.
