Huh. Got me wondering about my 2001 FLSTC capacity. Googled it and came up with 5.0 gal including a .5 gal reserve. But I've never put more than 4 gal in her when the needle is all the way down in the red on the fuel gauge. I'm getting about 42 mpg mix of hwy and city driving. I usually get around 130 to 140 gal on average per tank. Filled her up yesterday morning with 3.1 gal at 127 mile on the trip odometer.

Wonder if my gauge is off by a gal or so when it is reading E.
