92 400e fuel capacity?

Yeah, or maybe the car is just 'thirsty' !?

Heh! Even the feds declared it as a gas-guzzler:

Had my 92 400E since new. I believe fuel capacity is about 18 gallons. It takes about 15 gallons if I fill it up just when the reserve light comes on. Rob

It gets better mileage than my Ford Crown Victoria got, but it was not listed as a gas guzzler. Other than MPG, what is the criteria for "gas guzzler"?

I could not find for the 400E, but

I suppose it's the size class to fuel consumption ratio. On that site, they had listed it as a "compact" car. Only in the US would a 400E be listed as a "compact" car. Sort of reminds me of the man who tells his wife "Honey, did you shrink my jeans AGAIN?" :-|

My 1985 500 SEL (126 body) has an 80 litre tank with a 10 litre reserve, IIRC. Once, I drove for about 50 km after the low fuel light appeared - since there weren't any petrol stations around. The needle was as far to the left as it could go. When I refueled, it only took 77 litres. I probably could have driven at least another 80 kilometers or so before the car died. But it's really, really bad if you let an old car with fuel-injection run out of fuel. All of the junk in the bottom of the fuel tank can get sucked into the injectors, and replacing 8 fuel injectors is not cheap.
