How much gas does the gas tank hold?

50 litres I think. dont hold me to that though. I have managed to get 44 into mine once when I got tired of it sputtering around corners and was a little chicken of it actually running out.

Actually it holds 13.2 gallons. The low fuel light comes on approx. when there's 3.2 gallons left in the tank.

Errrr... im trying to calculate my gas mileage. i get about 220 miles per tank.... that doesnt seem right does it?

you have to do it by 10 gallons, because you still have that 3.2 in there. every time you fill up your car right when the idiot light comes on, ever notice that you only put about 10 gallons in?
just take how many miles you went between fillups and divide that by how many gallons you put in.

I fill up my tank when the needle falls below one eighth, and invariably there's still 20 litres (about 5 gallons) left in it.

Conclusion: don't trust the gas gauge.

yeah, when mine is full the needle is above full and the idiot light comes on before the needle even touches the top-right part of the "E"

As soon as your light comes on, go home and pull your cluster and reset that pesky needle!

yeah, i plan on doing that when i get around to getting the white-face gauges. that would be the best time imo

220 miles until the light comes on? That's only about 22mpg.

220 miles til empty, wow that's.... about 17 or so.

So no, that's not right. Not when I get consistent 32-36.

i get somewhere around 30, but i have a lead foot, and my engine despritly needs a tune up. trying not to do that thought by having the 4g63t up and running before the 4g15 get too bad...

Its been 220 miles and the light came on...
What could be the problem...like you said thats only 22 mpg.

Maybe you need a tune up. I changed the o2 in my car and it made a huge difference.
