My car only takes 13.xx gallons when its on E to bury the needle past full. I filled it up today and it was 12.8 gallons on the dot…

these guys are claiming to get high 12-low 13 gallons to a full tank also…

> New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - Why do i get terrible gas mileage? - Even when I'm PURPOSELY not flooring it and coming out of lights like a grandma, I get terrible gas mileage. Even after a a full tune-up, I thought i would get much better gas...

so averaging over 200 miles on a full 13.xx gallon tank isnt o so bad.

Edit: Some people are saying they have 15.5 gallon tanks, 16.8 gallons tanks and 13 gallon tanks. Not sure what the deal is but my Red V6 only held 13.xx gallons from E to full also.
