So I was running late to work the other day, so I had to ignore the gas light. When I finally stopped after work to fill up, the needle was on the empty slash. When I filled it up, it was full at 13.5 gallons. I thought all of the tanks on 7th gen accords were 17.5 gallons? Do they go crazy long after the gas light comes on? This explains why i thought I was getting crap mpg.

crap mpg? you don't take how much the tank holds and divide by mileage. you use what it took to fill up and use that to divide how many miles you drove. so even if you fill up at a half tank it will be the same as if its empty.
