what's the size of the gas tank on pro5? 12.5 gallons?

i'm gettin diff sizes 14.5, 15 from online sources.
 
14.5 according to the manual, but those are always approximate sizes...

I tend to put 10 to 12 gallons of gas in when I fill up, no engine light is on yet. I believe someone said it will kick on somewhere around or after 12 gallons needed to fill up
 
heh, today was the first time the light ever came on for me. I freaked out since I'd never seen it before :D
 
wow...i always thot it was 12.5

the most miles i ever got from it was probably 350 miles

comes out to about 24 mpg....that is sorta sucky mileage for mixed highway and street

i gotta measure it again.
 
i saw my light go on only once.. lol i usually fill it up at half way. but yeah. i was freaking out cuz i'm like nooo i'mg oing to run out of gas and i'm going to have to push my car
 
350? 374? miles per tank? are your cars stock? cuz man i get about 300M per tank and im full on stock i used to get about 260-270 but my led foot kinda went away and now i shift at 3k and on highway i stay right under 3.5k rpm about 300-315.

as for the size of the tank i some what recall a thread where someone said it was 14.4 gallons so yea...the lowest ive gone down to is a 13.2 gallon fillup.

all highway i was able to squeek out 420+ many times.

i have no qualms about driving below the E mark. E stands for "enough"....
 
well i stay at 3k on side streets and under 3.5k on highway 75-78mph right now im at about 3/4 tank or that Line with 74miles

hell even f1 cars only rev to 18k.

(trying to make the point that you need a decimal in there :p )
 
I've been trending my gas since about a month after I got the car:

I'm a bit dissapointed in the mileage, it has kind of rollercoastered, but gives me a really good idea on what to expect!
 
yeah i usually get about 260 -275 per tank...350 was the most i got. i'm all stock except for a k & n filter
