Usable fuel

How much usable fuel does this gas tank hold? I know the tanks holds 3.3 gallons, but given the chance, would the full pump get every last drop? Another way to put is: what's the most you've ever put in? 3 gallons? 3.1 gallons?

In the metric world the tank holds 12.4 litres. I've put in more than 12 litres on several occassions after pushing reserve to 30klm+. Max distance covered is 235klm. Standard 'S', no exhaust or ECU mods.

Ran it out of gas at highway speed had to push 1/2 mile for gas and it took 3.1 per the Shell pump.

At least they are easy to push.
