Default 13 Gallon Gas Tank?

I thought our gas tanks were 16 gallons, mine fills up at 13. Is there anything in particular that could be causing this or any way to fix it?

Lets do some math here. If you have a seventeen gallon tank with 4 gallons in it already how many gallons of gas can add in before it becomes full.

What's the big deal any way? I normally put up to 14 gallons in... 15 when I am really low.

I can't even remember the last time I got 300-325 in 1 tank of gas. for me its more like 240 - 280 miles.

I just hit 550 miles last week with 16 gals. Mostly highway driving. I'll try and hit 600 this summer in ideal conditions.

On long trips I generally drive just over 6 hours @ 80mph on a full tank before I fill up... that's 480 miles, and I know I have a little more left.
