Also realize that "full" doesn't mean filled to the brim. There is an area in the tank for the fuel vapors to collect, so you typically can't fill a tank to it's actual rated capacity, as this are cannot (or more accurately should not) be filled with fuel.

Yeah, mine said 13 miles to empty, had been on the red line for a good 20 miles, and still only took 11.1 gallons.
