The trip we took to Sylvan Lake yesterday in my wife's GSL 12A was 500kms round trip--- on one tank of gas. The guage was reading in the red and the low-fuel light was on. Cost to fill at 1.09 per liter was $61. This sounds to me like a 55-liter tank when we consider that both fill-ups went to the top of the filler neck.

 

Nope, it's 63L

Here is the '83 FSM info:

You've gotta remember that cars were (supposed to be) designed to have the low fuel light and show empty with a reserve left in the tank to keep you from being stranded. The true test to see the capacity of a fuel tank is to run it dry so that the engine stalls out. Not recommended of course for obvious reasons.

 

Like the time I stuffed 61.5L in my 63L tank!! Blew an engine not long after, stupid but the gauge/light never worked on my car.

 

I've never got fuel economy that bad.

wow, 30L/100km.


with the halfbridge I get 300-400KM/tank, with a 50-55L fill (Iusually fill up around 1/8 left)
with my '85 GS I get 400km per tank, with a 40-45L fill.

S4's have a 64L tank, S5's have a 70L tank, FD's have a 76L tank.

I've put over 60L of fuel into my 10AE before and I put over 70L into my FD, but only once or twice.

 

S4's have 63L tanks.

haha, shut up already about the gas tank capacity!

 

my JDM turbo FC car costs around 75 bucks to fill (94 octane) and lasts around 350 kms .. but its worth it
