This is the most I've ever filled up back in Sept 2011.

Jesus man........ You must have been running on fumes. I always thought that the Z had 19 gallons & the G had 20 gallons. I believe the owner's manual & even the Nissan/Infiniti website say the same thing. Given the photo here it seems the Z might have 19.2 gallons.

Are these all measures of liquid volume? I think bushels, US or not, are dry volume measures.

I think they were aiming for exactly 1 Strike but lost something in the conversion.

I think that the Z actually has 19.5 gallons. I went to the spec sheet on the nissan website.

In English measure Bushel can be used for liquid volume, having an equivalence of 8 imperial gallons. Even in the US it can be used for liquid measure, it is defined in the US as 9.30918 US gallons.

Hmm, I didn't notice I did a double post.

So if someones decides to run E85 in their Z, should they measure their fuel capacity in bushels?

Let me go pull out my Pee-Che folder from the 1970's and I will get back to you...

All this talk about fuel is making me hungry...Time to fuel up..
