Loads. With yellow light on, and driving till i dare not any more, i still got another gallon in.
I have never managed to fill it more than 52 litres without thinking i will run out, and it is a 60 gallon tank.
So like i say, at least a gallon i reckon.

Yep, me too. A gallon is 4.544 litres, and my handbook says there is normally 2 gallons left when the low fuel level warning light come on.
