well, it's little more than 14 gallons. 14.5 gallons.

The fuel light will come at 10.5 gallons and you have the rest for the reserve, I believe.

I also did not know that, and still may not believe that with some official literature stating that. Most car magazines report the evo as having 14gallon tank. Nothing about the reserve.

Anyways, airpoppoff, I think the gas station charged you for more gas than you really got, haha.

that's what I said, it's 14 gallon tank, you have 4 gallon reserve and 10 gallon that you actually use before the fuel light comes on.
