Scotty Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 So how dry have you ran your tank? I just filled up at 15.515 gallons with the needle below the last line. Normally I get gas a lot sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawdaddy79 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't think I've gotten to 14 gallons yet. I generally get fuel when I get the low fuel light. It's been a policy of mine to get nervous once you drop below 1/4 tank thanks to getting rides from friends in high school who often ran out of gas.

tdoggydog Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm shocked at the 16+! I usually get around 12-13 gallons and thought Subaru had lied to me! *Gasp* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strabismo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm shocked at the 16+! I usually get around 12-13 gallons and thought Subaru had lied to me! *Gasp* I don't know what the book says in the US but in our specs up here they say that our tank is 64L which means 16.9 US Liquid gallons. So it's possible I guess. But must be pretty close. Does the US specs states 16.9 gallons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 17.01 gallons. I am serious. I should have taken a picture. I know the tank is listed to be smaller than this. I basically coasted into this gas station as the car died from running out of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTlegacy06 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 In that rare case I'm sure the fuel pump was wearing faster than normal. I usually run it down until the fuel light comes on. Average fill up is 13-14gallons which comes out to 75-80% of the max so theres always still "plenty" of fuel in my tank imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactojesse Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 15.9 gallons is the most I've ever filled up. I was crapping my pants and looking at the estimated range every minute until I got to the gas station. I was relieved to find out I still had a gallon left. Regardless, I won't be pushing it that far anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy88s Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I used to wait for awhile after the fuel light came on before filling up until one day I took off rather enthusiastically from a stop light and the car lost all power like I had slammed on the brakes - I don't wait for the fuel light any longer.

I basically coasted into this gas station as the car died from running out of fuel. Well I doubt anybody can top that I had coasted in to gas stations with my F-250 (8 MPG... kinda hard to judge when you'll run out of gas) but haven't done more then about 15.9 gallons in the LGT.

Did you guys read the manual? It clearly states that specifically turbo model cars should fill up immediately when the gas light goes on to prevent damage. I doubted that this would ever happen until I read this guy's post. No sense is draining it down that far anyways, it's only going to make the fuel pump work harder and run the risk of air getting in your fuel lines.

tytek Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 17.8xxg west of Morristown, TN around March '05... I went in with my manual to show them that our tank is 16.9g - they refunded me the difference I guess I should have contacted the TN Department if Revenue, and informed them about the scam... never did though.

Yah, Don't want to be picking up all that shit in the bottom of your tank. Anyway, i broke the $100 tank mark a few weeks ago.. gone are the days of a $60 fill up (Thats $NZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
