    I agree with Firefly
    The most what i put in was 5.8 gal, 207 miles. Running down hill on interstate about 65 mph, barley touching trottle.

    The 6.6 capacity includes head space and some space above the fill opening. The practical capaity is 6.0 gallons. 4.6 is about right when the warning light first comes on. The "reserve" seems to be about 1.4 gallons. How you fill will make a difference, as will the particular type of pump nozzle and strength of the gas pump. If you can get 156 miles on a tank, consider yourself lucky. Many get far less.
