Rather it hold more than spec, my previous LeBaron held less

My first fill took 13.2 Gallons 7 miles past 'two petal' warning, drove to MTTS and first petal lasted 100+ miles.

There were four petals and 144 miles promised for our 132 mile return trip.

Since this would be a change from 'city' to highway' expected estimate to be conservative.

After driving 72 of those miles, the promise was down to 50 with 60 to go and a fill with one petal took 13.7 Gallons.

I only fill to first 'auto cut-off' at medium flow, no need to fill venting system with expensive gasoline.

I had my 08 MCS down to 15 - 17 miles left in the range yesterday and when i went to fill it up i got (or so i think) 13.868 gallons. Oddly enough i've got this exact amount once before. ummm interesting
