Fuel tank?
 
How large is it? how many gallons does it hold? I'm curious because I'll be taking a trip to PA (about 360 miles) and trying to google maps how many gas station stops I'll need to make.

fill it up once at each end and it should make it.

it is a 17 gallon tank... but that don't mean the pickup tube will pick up that much of it. plus, your computers MPG rating may be a little off. However, if you top off before leaving and fill up at the other end, I think you'll be just fine :)

Awesome thanks! I'm excited to visit a few college friends for the weekend, and hopefully see The Dark Knight too! And that just made the trip even better. :D

i believe my owners manual says 17... but edmunds may be right. but again, that don't mean the pickup tube will pick it all up. Our Honda Odyssey has a 21 gallon tank and we learned the hard way it only picks up 19.2 gallons of it.

The route I took to get to my destination in PA ended up being a little over 400 miles, and I made it on one tank (which was awesome because gas was almost a quarter cheaper in PA than in MA). It was a nice trip, the car did fantastic, no issues whatsoever. :D
