hey guys i have an 89 civic lx, i thought the gas tank was a 10 gallon, i filled up today and it took 10.5 and it wasnt even like dead on E, i mean it was really low, but could have been a bit lower...

?

 

I assumed your tank was prolly the same as mine, but I looked it up anyway and I saw a place selling 12 gallon tanks for both your 89 lx and my 91 crx, so I figure that means your tank is also technically 11.9 gallons. On empty mine fills up to 8.5 gallons though.

 

In EDM cars its 45litres. And 42-43litres from red.

 

I think most CRXs are 11.9 gallons (my '88 Si and '89 DX are). I want to say only HFs have a smaller gas tank. 10.4 gallons I think. Does anyone concur?

 

You're correct knwldge54.

 

Also gas stations will sometimes mess with their pumps to get more money out of you.

For example filling up a 6 gallon gas can at a local gas station turned out to take 6.7 gallons to fill it up...doesent sound right now does it? Damn gas stations.

That's FUCKED up, but funny as ****!

 

Well you have to look at it like this... Your gas tank's capacity is lets say 10 gallons, ok. well the tube running up to the gas tank hold gas too if you top it off. So if you top your car off, your filling up your gas tank and the capacity of the tube.

 

that tube dosent hold a half gallon, and i didnt even fill it up, i just let the pump cut itself off, i probably could have manually pumped .3 more in also like i said it wasnt bone dry

 

Always fill up early in the morning and you will get more gas for your money. Overnight it cools and compresses. In the heat/day it gets hot and expands. Just some random info.

 

and get bigger tires. They improve your gas mileage.

LOL. Kidding but I think what ^that guy said is true.
