I can fit a about half a gallon to a gallon more than that though.
To truly find out exactly you'll have to run it out of gas, and before you fill her up to find out you might as well replace the pump...

And all this time I thought my car got horrible gas mileage. Now I know why. My gauge is obviously messed up. For one, when I feel it up it stops and 3/4 tank and from E to 3/4 only holds 12 gallons. I was wondering why I only got 150 miles to a tank. Thats cause Im not truly running the full 15.5 gallons out. That would give me a little over 200 miles to a tank depending on how I drive it. Guess thats good cause I never let it get to low before I refill her.

Im with you 13 gallon guys. Most ive ever gotten in my 95 would probably be 13.2...or 13.4.. around there
Most mileage I've ever gotten (on highway whole time) is about 230-240
I average about 190-210 on the street, bone stock
Ran out of gas once, was used to Hondas where the gauge goes well below the E. I ran out of gas after driving a few miles on E enroute to a station. I actually thought I blew the clutch/motor because it LOOKED like it had a little bit over the E..damn domestics.

I was sputtering into a gas station and it shut off right as i roled to the pump. I know great timing. I put in 15.6 that time. As noted the manual says 15.5. I get about 210 out of a full tank totaly stock. Thats city and alittle county to get to work.
