!!!New World Record!!!

[tomdietrying]

This has to be a world record. I just put 22.182 gallons in my gas tank!!!

What's not a world record is my mpg. I only got 319 miles out of that tank. That's only an avgerage of 14.38 mpg. I guess thaks o.k. because I do mostly city driving.

Can anyone in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD beat that record?

[Joe_Black]

That's wimpy! I got 23 in there once, but only 'cause I parked the right wheels on the fuel island! LOL!

'Course people were throwing matches after me for some reason when I left too...

[Bantan]

Guys,
I thought the tank only has a 22gallon capacity.
You guys got jipped!

[Dallas4u]

Yeah, I was about to say... 23 gallons in a 22.5 gallon tank? Wow, packin it tight!

[Inaba]

Can anyone in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD beat that record?

Yes, see the MPG thread. I've put 22.387 in mine (more than once around that area!).

I think I may still have the receipt somewhere.

I haven't tried parking on the pump island to get it angled right

O.K. Inaba. You are the master right now. You hold the World Wide Record for now.

I've got it figured out. If I can drive the same and get 326 mile on the gauge, I will hold the RECORD!!!! or be stranded somewhere in BFE

I'll keep you posted.

P.S.
The rules committy cannot accept the claim of 23 gallons in the tank by Joe_Black. A bystander stated that over a gallon of that was seen spilling out as claiment was leaving the station. That would leave Joe_Black with a mere 22 gallons. Sorry Joe

[Joe_Black]

Darn!

[Apostle]

22.5 in tank, 1 up the pipe ?

You would indeed be "The man" we all aspire to be!



I"ve love to see how far you could get on running it bone dry while driving on 33 degree forward/left slant

(Well, come to think of it, where exactly is the fuel line from the tank located?)

[tomdietrying]

Inaba,
Well, it's official. Today I have taken possesion of your old "How Much Gas Can I Put In My Gas Tank" record.

I just put 22.737 gallons in my gas tank. I had 329 miles on the odometer. That only averages 14.47 mpg. Oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

P.S.
Joe_Black - I didn't spill a drop

Peace Out

Where was the needle before you filled up? How far to the left?

[tomdietrying]

It seems like every VX's fuel gauge is set just a bit different. With mine, I know I have about 25 miles left in the tank when I see the fuel light come on. On this last fill up, the needle was just a hair to the left of empty.

[Inaba]

Hmm... I don't know if I could swing 22.7 in my tank, that'd be running the tank bone dry and coasting into the station!

You might have the title of king for awhile.

I know that when my needle is completely to the left of the empty notch, I need to find a gas station right quick... but as long as the needle touches the empty notch, I still got some milage left.
