We just returned from Vancouver on our Syncros - my wife is an expert in
filling the Syncro fuel tank right to the top - this is an amazing feat
considering it is foamy Diesel fuel.  The Syncro, right to the neck holds a
little over 71L from a bone dry empty tank.

Just filled up and got 15.416 gallons into the tank, without even trying to
squeeze every last drop in.  Now either the tanks aren't 15 gallons big, or
the gas station's meters are off...
