1.3L, I just got my plates last week and one of them mysteriously disappeared into the bowels of my trunk. So, that makes at least two of us here in So. Cal. with missing metal on the front of the car. A Corvette-driving buddy of mine did get a fix-it ticket last week and put his front plate on, but says it was only $10.

Oh, and just to stay on the subject of the thread, I wouldn't try to top off the tank.

 

About two mouth fulls after it shuts off the first time :D

 

I fill mine up as much as possible every time, to be more consistent with the MPG figures, and I can always get 1.1 gallons more in after the first auto shutoff.

This has been consistent across brands of pumps, different cities, etc. You do have to be pretty patient for the last couple of tenths, though.

 

i let the hose do the auto-shutoff last night while refueling and then proceeded to leave. after starting the car, i noticed my gas gauge was 1/4 less than full. ok, do the math. we virtually have a 16 gallon tank. half a tank would be approx 8 gals which would leave 4 gals for 1/4. (easy math done for symplicity) after driving for 5 miles, my gauge didn't increase, so i figured it was safe to believe it was not going to go up. i've known some cars to do this. anyway, i put another 3.6 gals in it after making another stop. i'm happy, the car is happy and the gas station is happy.

yamajj

 

I normally take note of how much goes in compared to how much "room" is showing on the gauge.

Man, I can't believe we burned two pages of thread on this lame-o topic!

I can't believe I actually read it too!

Note to self: Get head examined.

 

well its not really lame considering folks are confused by topping off the tank. Gas waisted, spill overs on the ground, overflow tank issues and on and on. Yep its amazing how a simple question keeps getting answers for days on end. 13L!!!! thanks for the question, sometimes this is more fun than the Lounge!! good grief!

 

Off topic as replied earlier:

I don't use my front liscense plate either. Although it is law in Ohio, it's not a moving violation and dosen't effect my liscense or insurance, it's just a fine. I'm exersizing my right of living in a free country and I'll just pay the fine if I get pulled over. Hasn't happened yet though since I picked her up in March.

 

I always topped off the tank on my last car... this RX-8 puts gasoilene all over the pavement on the first attempt to top off.
