Default What Size tank do we have?

I'd like to know, just for fuel efficiency reasonings. I just came back from a trip and wouldlike to know the kind of mileage I'm getting. Wondering if it's good or not.

I got about 450 kilometers to a tank. Which is 280 miles.

Easiest way to do it, Divide the miles/Kilometers by the amount of gas you put in to fill it.

If you do it by the tank, it would have to be bone dry to compute accurately..

Other then that, I don't know the size..

I think you're thinking of kilometers. 280/13 = 21.5

Sounds like a LOT of VTEC

450 kilometers from 13.2 gallons is 34 kilometers per gallon, not 34 miles per gallon.

Holy crap. 13 gallons? I've gotten it to where there are ZERO bars on the fuel gauge, fuel light on, etc, and then proceeded to put in like 10.8 gallons. I assumed it was like 11.5 gallons. I had another 50ish miles in the tank? Jeez.

I'd keep a log of miles driven / fuel put in for about 1 month to get a good average.

On a side note, I'm headed to 300 miles on this tank if it continues linearly.

yes, 13 gallons

I have put ~11 Gallons in it one time like yourself. Keep in mine while the tank holds 13.2 gallons the fuel pickup might not be able to suck it all up...
