Just got a 1999 GT Convertible. I read the book and know that the car has a 15+ gallon tank. However, I am never able to get more than 12.8 gallons in the tank, even when i have driven with the fuel light on for about 15 miles.
What gives? Anyone else have this problem? I guess what I want to know is whether it is shutting off before it fills or if the fuel light is coming on with like 3 gallons left in the tank. I know i read that some of the Scion xA and xB were having some sort of problem such that the only way to fill the tank was to insert the fuel upside down when filling so that the auto shut off would not happen as easily. Please help! I gotta know why I cant get 15 gallons in this thing. Thanks in advance! |

Nope. Not complaining about not spending enough on gas, just wanting to be able to drive more than 300 miles on a tank before filling up. Would love to go 350-400 without worrying about running out of gas. Kind of a drag to have to fill it up just as often as the Toyota Pickup that i just got rid of.
