Default How many gallons is the damn gas tank?

I thought it was 13.5, but everytime I am on E for 2 days, when I go to fill it up all I can put it is 10.8-11.1, why is that?

I only get about 10.5 gallons in there....it maybe larger, but I bet the fuel pump and float may displace a half gallon or so....and maybe the gauge isn't telling us the whole story....just a guess

It's around 13 gallons, just drive it until you stall it if you need reassurance.

Listed in Helm (and i think the owners manual somewhere)

50 Liters | 13.2 US Gallons | 11.0 Imperial Gallons

Sometimes my situation requires me to run on E for as long as I can, but don't do it too much if you don't have to. Fuel pump life is really shortened over the life of the car if you starve it too much.
Running on E = good weight reduction

So true, pulling out with a full tank of gas can be felt like no other, sometimes i only fill it up half way to save the weight. Make twice as many trips to the gas station, but i see that as twice as many reasons to drive the R.

The USDM integra gas tank is 13.2 gallons. It has a tendancy to read empty when you've still got quite a bit of fuel left. That's why I go by milage. Although one time I put 13.5 when I basically coasted into the gas station...

your fuel is lucky to see the bottom of the tank once you get going

I've never let it hit the E, I always fill it when I have alittle less than a 1/4 of a tank left.

my gsr has a 55 litre gas tank, but even from bone dry when i filled it up it only came to 40 litres, i went and asked the honda dealership why? they told me that there is always 12 to 15 litres of gas in the tank that remains unused, to prevent all the **** at the bottom from getting into your injectors. So even if your car stops due to lack of gas, there is still 12 to 15 litres of gas in the tank.

Pure BS!
I ran that sucker dry a couple weeks ago, and put more gas in the tank than it is supposed to hold!

I virtually ran the tank dry the other day and put in 13.3 gal.
I have also pumped close to 13 gallons on several occasions.

Isn't the fuel drawn from the bottom of the tank? And doesn't the fuel (especially in a baffle-less type R) get sloshed around quite a bit? How can the last gallon or 2 be so filthy, it's all gas. Am I mistaken in thinking this?
