Gas Miles After Light Came On

September 26, 2008 about Chrysler PT Cruiser

I have a 2003 pt cruiser and I drove 30 miles after the low fuel light came on. I filled the vehicle up with gas and it took 12.9 gallons of gas. what stumped me is that the book claims it holds just 12 gallons of gas so I couldn't under stand how it took 12.9 gallons. but shortly after I heard gas stations were not giving a gallon of gas that some of them were checked and the pumps were off. I feel it is a shame the the public gets a raw deal from the gas station with the price of gas today, but then that's another story.

it s all related to density of the fuel and temp fill up at 15 cent or 45f and youll get the correct fuel.

It all depends on the density of the reply too.

filled my PT all the way to the rim with 17.4 US Gallons. 2005 Convertible touring. the total capacity by manufacture is 15 gallon, so is it possible or the gas station manipulate the pump?
