I have a 2006 Solara SE coupe and have read in the manual that the fuel tank capacity is 18.5 gallons. However anytime I fill up it’s usually around 13-14 gallons, and that’s when I drive it past a quarter tank left (or sometimes even till the fuel light comes on). So I just don’t see how it’s possible it could be 18.5 gallons if I’ve never gotten more than 15 out of it.

On a side note, I’m curious what you guys with similar year and trim models get MPG wise. Mine fluctuates anywhere from 17-23 from winter to summer (almost all city driving). It’s my 2nd year with the car and I was pretty surprised with how bad the MPG got in the winter months.
