I read here, and in my manual that the fuel capacity for my car is 16 gallons. I checked the manual to see if there was a reserve and I couldn't find anything, maybe I didn't look hard enough.

I read a couple times that it could be 18 gallons, but more often than not I've read 16.

I couldn't get to a gas station right away and the car took 16.2 gallons on this last fill up.

Anybody know? It's an '89 convertible.

 

The 89 cars had an 18.5 gallon fuel tank. I believe that was the only year that was available. Hope that helps.

 

Kick ***. Part of the reason why I was confused is because I really don't think the '90 GTU I had was the same way, but of course that was a while ago and I could easily be wrong.

That extends my range to, uh....

444 miles until I'm totally out of gas. 24.XX mpg on the highway, tested many times.

Thanks man.

 

You suck:p j/k
I get like 16 to 18.

 

I get that in the city with my foot on the floor.

 

You're welcome.

And for the record, I get about 20 mpg on a full tank. If it's strictly highway, I can stretch it to about 23 mpg.

 

16.6
