And I've seen 14.4 for the FBs somewhere else...but when you run out of gas, push it to a station and then top it out at 14.5 gallons, you tend to think maybe I won't drive to 295 miles on the trip odo and stick with 250 at "E" before I fill up again...

Except for the air cleaner mod and the K&N filter, she's completely stock, so the price of that fuel range is only having 105 HP at the flywheel....but at least she's got grip beyond belief and I can leave braking to the last possible second, if need be...

yes believe it or not i have gotten 323 miles on a tank of gas from N Wa to W Or about a 5 hour trip. i drove it empty to gas station topped it off at 16 something and drove without stopping i even think it wasnt even on E almost though i was very impressed i got better milage than my wifes 4 banger grand am. mods are tarus fan Rb header no cats and highly modded air canister with K and N a bunch more suspension mods that wouldnt effect milage as well.

1982 RX7 fuel tank size
i just ran out yesterday (thought the gage was faulty but I should have believed it). Added one gallon to drive two miles to the gas station. Added 15.6 at the gas station. Total 16.6 gallons capacity 1982 RX7, 12A and manual 5 speed, mostly stock, typically average 22 mpg.

so anyone know, like rxbrug just did, on a 1980 SA?
and how reliable are these fuel gauges? I've never tested it and don't want too. lol
I know when I top mine off and take it for a spin for like an hour or more it usually uses about 1/2 tank...but it's a v8 and I am usually getting on it.
