Once you use up 14.5 gallons you will start to have issues when you make right turns. Id guess the tank is 16 gallons or so. I always top off, shake the car to make it bubble down, and top off again.
I fill the way ciper does, but my tank is a paltry 11.(I think 4) gallons (fwd). I have never seen the light come on even when the gauge read below empty and I had to put a little over 11 gallons in. I get about 25 on the highway, 28 if I drive old-lady style, maybe 18-20 beating on it or over 110.

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

That happened to me, just in a different way.
Took an uphill onramp fast. . .and I mean balls-out acceleration. Hit the fuel cutoff at about 5k. Apparently, the gas all sloshed to the back of the tank, and the level was so low to begin with, the fuel pump had nothing to pump for a few seconds!
isn't that bad for our pumps? Something about them being cooled by the gas running through them. I know I messed up the sender when I let it run a littlle too low.

I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

Probably. . . although it being only a second or three, I doubt any damage would have occurred.
I think the tank is 15-16 gallons. I usually put 13-14 gallons in when I fill up. I get about 40 miles more once I see the light on. About gas mileage with a full tank, it depends...
Straight Highway...300 (shell gas, not sure if it makes a difference)
Delivering Pizzas at the moment...240
Delivering Pizzas with bad plugs...220
Delivering Pizzas with a boost leak and bad plugs...200
