              I paid 3.059 a gallon for premium...since my car doesn't seem to run properly w/out at least midgrade.

                          55L according to the literature i hav....aka 14.5 gallons

                          somehow i doubt it...last tank was like 10 gallons yet my **** was pegged below the E line.

                          either our gauge is really inaccurate or the slotege's literature i have is retarded

                            just looked up the info on my site...which i basically took directly from the USDM brochures i have:'

                            Fuel Capacity:
                            14.5 gallons (13.2: 95' CA/NY, 96'-97' CA/NY/MA, 98' CA/NY/MA/CT)

                            fyi 13.2=50 liter

                              I believe our tank is 13.2 gallons which is equal to 49.967 L.

                              I also get 25 MPG w/an automatic with the a/c on ALL the time (I live in Puerto Rico), it's HOT out here.
