more like 10 gallons, when you get to E do you actually run out ? I can go a good 1/8" below E before the fuel starts cutting out around corners

11.8 is what Honda says. My 88 crxsi starts to cut out at 1/8 a tank above E and when I fill up it is usually 8-9 gallons.

88civic hb std when on E and cutting out around coners 10 to 10.7 gals. But I have never put 12 gals on it never been able to. Also were I live all gas stations are 10% ethonal what do you all think this does to the octane rating?

You have a 88std? I have to run a full tank of gas because the car starves for fuel around turns after I burn a gallon of fuel during autox.
