I had the opportunity to check the effective capacity of the fuel cell in my CAV - vin 80 - and was surprised by a couple of things.
1. I topped the left tank off until I could see the fuel - then drove the car for 208 miles before it ran dry - I was surprised I was getting over 20 mpg!
2. I then filled it carefully to the same level and it took 10.1 US gallons - I was amazed that the fuel pickup was so effective.
I also checked the guage after adding 5 gallons and it registered almost exactly half full.
