Quick Question....What size is the fuel tank in a 4th Gen f-bod?
I thought it was 15.5? Just wondering, I recently went on a long trip in my Z, was wondering what kind of gas mileage I got...

im pretty sure its 15.5 too...
but why do you need to know the tank size to figure out your milage? your tank is never completely empty... so fill up... zero out the trip odometer, then when you go to fill up again, see how much gas it takes (example: 14.48 gallons) then see how many miles you've gone since your last fill up (example: 289.5)
289.5 divided by 14.5 = 19.96
so, it would be 20mpg...
just do that for the duration of your trip and it will give you a pretty damn accurate average trip mpg....
