My last car was 14 gallons, and it always kind of blows my mind when I drive all the way across Washington state and still have half a tank left...

Up here the capacity is in liters - 72. I feel like I'm getting more gas when I fill 'er up at $95/tank.

The longest range I got in my Z between fill-ups was 442 miles of daily driving (a mix of surface streets and freeway).

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.

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.

It's only 0.0719228239 cubic meters! But it is also 2.04099654 US bushels.

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?
