sti fuel tank ????? confused..
Well it says in the manual that it has a 60 litre tank...and that the light will come on when it has 9 litres left...i know i nearly choked the first time i saw that too 
.....but even if my lights been on for about 10-15 miles ( possibly 4 litres) i have never managed to get more than 49 litres in it......am i being lied to ??? am i stupid????? do i care???

Whats written in the book is only a general guide.It cant be 100% accurate as the fuels moving about.I bet the light even comes on with different amounts in the tank dependant on braking,cornering and acceleration speeds

60-9= 51
51-49= 2
2 litres, does it matter?
Might get you a few feet further down the road.
Don't push the fuel nozzle so far in the next time, that might help.
I dont know maybe i'm confused.

Fair point, but i'd done quite a few miles after the light came on anyway so knowing what a sti-ppp drinks i wouldn't have had any more than 5 left....it doesn't really matter anyways, just wanted to see what other peeps had with theirs.....does anyone else have a problem with extremely violent acceleration ????
