Re: <VV> gas tank capacity



I've found that almost without exception the late model Corvair has a fuel guage

that will read full with a true 14 gallons aboard. The guage also is linear in

its readings. The "E" mark will leave 4 gallons in reserve, with the 1/2 mark

having used 5 gallons.



Wish these modern cars were as predictable.
