Fuel Tank is Too Small

[Blingen]

I have had the opportunity to drive my GT2 AWD from Dover DE to Albany NY and Hartford CT to Dover DE several times. That is 5 to 6 hours driving depending on traffic on a single tank. I averaged 27 to 29 MPG and it showed 100 miles left before empty. I also fill the tank until it is ready to come out of the fill spout. It looks like it gives me an additional 1.8 gallons of gas. After 5 hours of driving I am ready for a break. I had a 2013 Charger RT AWD with a 19 gallon tank. The best I could get was 25 to 26 MPG. I am pleased with the fuel mileage I am getting. This is the first car in a long time where the fuel mileage is extremely better than what the EPA estimate said.

I am also glad there is a spare tire instead of a couple extra gallons of gas.

I also wonder how much tank capacity was lost because they may have planned for a Diesel engine in locations that require DEF additive and they lost 2 to 3 gallons capacity because of that.

I've been getting about 300 miles to a tank (give or take). Not great, not a disaster. Costs nothing to fill it though because it is so tiny. The other day I get to the pump and the gas station was out of the regular grade fuel, so they put the premium at the regular price....cost me $48 Canadian (about $36 US bucks) to fill it up LOL LOL

Edit....just to clarify, I always put premium, just I got lucky because they were out of regular they priced the premium at the regular price (right place, right time )

Very disappointed in Stinger's 15.9 gallon fuel tank. My Kia Optima has an 18.5 tank, which gives me enormous range ... over 100 miles greater than Stinger.

Late to the party with this thread, but there is a enormous difference in performance between the Stinger and the Optima (I know, used to own 2013 SX-T). That difference immediately noticeable at throttle tip in and max torqs @ 1300 rpm. I pull out of my driveway, give it some gas and bam 80 mph just like that. I'll take that any day of the week. As a point of reference, my chipped 87 Porsche 944 Turbo had a 22 gallon tank, no real trunk or rear seats.

I'm late to the thread as well. My 2010 370z had a 21 gallon tank. Before I modded it, I could get 500 miles to a tank if it was all highway miles.
