6 gallon tank nice. Let's see 6 gallons at 13.2 mpg gets me to the office and back. ONCE.

Actually it's about 9.5-10 gallons. The fuel gauge is kinda goofy so I don't run it down that far.

The tank is 55L and with the venteconomy done you can easily put in 58L. We get 980km on a tank of city driving. 1100+ on the freeway.

Actually the tank is 38L which is about 10 gallons. It's a 78, not one of the newer diesels with the 14 gallon tank.
