I do the same with every car I own.

I've been lucky enough to never run out of gas but I've gone far below the last dash on the E and dozens of miles past the light

Half tank? Thats like nearly a quarter tank left for me and thats when I usually fill up. I hate being under 1/4 tank because I have really bad OCD and it'll kill me to have it that low. Only once have I ever gotten that low, and I almost killed myself. Hahaha! But I've never filled up more than 11 gallons I believe. You guys are crazy! I thought the Evo's MAX capacity for gas was 12 gallons.

There is an easy way to see if the gas station is ripping you off or the pump is messed up. Bring a 5gal container or what have you and fill it up to exactly 5 gallons. See if its just right, too little, or too much. Obviously dont keep filling if its gonna overflow and there is like another 1/4 gal to go.

If you are pumping over 14gal. Most likely the pump is defective/not calibrated correctly. Its not possible to arrive at the pumps exactly at 0 and then pump 14-15gals. rofl.

I fill up after my gas light goes on and then it automatically stops at around 12 gallons.

24 gallons was the most ever!







































12 in the tank and 12 in the two five gallons gas can in the trunk . Seriously, I rarely if ever let my Evo go below half empty.

Unless my math fails me, two five-gallon gas cans would total ten gallons.
