Read this trick about a year ago...makes it a lot better.

that is what I hear, 14.5 gallons, but I have put 16 gallons in it and it was near empty, but not completely. I also did not fill it to the cap when I put 16 gallons in it, so it was a true 16. So I wonder if there was a certain year where the tank grew in size.

OTOH, 64 Litres is just over 14 IMPERIAL Gallons, so for those of us outside the US, yeah, 14.5 gallons including the filler tube is about right. No wonder we get better MPG than you, we have bigger Gallons!! Of course, we use Liters, and some stupid l/100kms thing that I've never truly understood!
