brilliant! yes, checked car specs online. i was guessing 18. turns out the gas tank capacity is 17.5. thanks.

Kurt has advised me that my approach is simplistic and marginally effective – that the empty indicator on the gauge is not truthful, that there are usually a few gallons left. However, if you can’t find the halfway point on your gauge, I’m worried about road blindness or some other eye malfunction from driving for too long.
Oh – and Kurt has just added that you could probably find it by googling your car make and model name and “gas tank capacity”. Me, I’d just call Click and Clack.

matt, heckle away.

Thanks and love always
