Apparently.
I used to think it held 12 gallons, since that is a nice even number, and it seemed to take about 11 when it was looking pretty empty.
But then one day, I was driving recklessly on an empty tank, (in vermont in the middle of the night) and when I stopped to fill up, it took a bit over 12 gallons.
So then I thought it held 14 or 13. 14 is more round and even.
Now I see online that it actually holds (Honda civic LX 1998) 11.9 gallons.
But I once got over 12 in!!!
perhaps the gas station was wrong and giving u less than a full gallon for each gallon registered.
hey, you never know
apparently the gas station has been ripping you off!
just out of curiosity…. if you are a lady why is your name popa bar abba?
I think Honda is only measuring the tank, unlike NASCAR who also measures the fuel line
popa: Well played, sir.
Also check underneath your car. Maybe it only holds 5 gallons and the rest is leaking out the bottom of your car.
This sounds like my belly
Most cars have two gallons extra “emergency capacity” for the geniuses who like driving on empty tanks.
I thought that everyone knew that at least a gallon can be held in the pipe leading to the gas tank. The pump shuts based on gas in the pipe so of course a fill up when actually empty will be for more gas than the advertised capacity
