Also the volume as displayed on the pump is corrected to 15 degrees Celsius (at least here in Canada), so there's some wiggle room there as well.


15.3 @ 89.97mph, 14's on the way?

It's not just GM. Most newer vehicles have gas tanks made out of some sort of plastic. At least they won't rust.

older tanks were only 13, like the early 3rd gens.

then they moved up to the 15.1 or 15.2 during the middle years

the latest ones are supposed to have 14.1 or 14.2 gallon tanks...

I put 6 oz of "stabil" into the gas tank which they said 1 oz covered 2.5 gallons of gas. So 6 oz = 15 gal.... i've sure even if i am off a little bit, i am ok.

14.1 gallons it says in the '03 dealer brochure, which I still have from when I bought my car. I realize it varies over the years.
