Gas tank capacity
Saturday, May 06, 2006 10:52 PM
How much gas does my '99 5-speed RS 2.2SOHC hold on a full tank?


My gas gauge doesn't work so i'm trying to figure out how many miles i can go before filling up by using my trip-odometer. Right now i'm estimating a 12gallon tank so i fill up every 220-250 miles.
I get an average 24mpg city and 37freeway.

It's around 14.2 gallons. I got the car to empty (died on me), put a gallon in, drove about 1/4 mile to a gas station, and put another 13.3 gallons in.
