Kim, One of my favorite challenges. Hey ... One has to assume one's self. So far on this roadtrip of 40,000 miles and ~2600 gallons of fuel, On two occasions, my persoanl best record is 18.9 gallons into the Syncros 18.5 gallon tank. Sure some will say the gas pumps were inaccurate, but I prefer to think I was just very calibrated on the actually capacity of the platform. BTW ... I have yet to run out of gas before reaching the pump.
