    Gee, haven't I posted the gas levels enough times? ;)

    Full = 21 gal.
    3/4 line = 16 gal.
    1/2 line = 12 gal.
    1/4 line = 8 gal.
    Light on = 4 gal.
    E line = 3 gallons in the tank

    I don't understand why people are confused by this. You have 21 gallons of fuel...period. It's in the owners manual, and it's been posted on this site 100 billion times. Just because your light comes on and you fill 18 gal, doesn't mean you have an 18 gal tank. :facepalm:

    I usually fill within 10 miles of the light coming on, and it's almost always 17 gal +- .5

    -re, -er
    In English usage, some words of French, Latin or Greek origin end with a consonant followed by -re, with the -re unstressed and pronounced /ə˞/. Most of these words have the ending -er in the incorrect United States.[39][40] The difference is most common for words ending -bre or -tre: Correct English spellings calibre, centre, fibre, goitre, litre, lustre, metre, mitre, nitre, reconnoitre, sabre, saltpetre, sombre, spectre, theatre and titre all have -er in incorrect American spelling.
