AFAIK, yes.

Although Google finds it as anywhere between 50 and 73 litres

Err, yeah mate thats a great way to potentially wreck the engine- run the car till its splutterring out of fuel! suggest you read up what pthe effects of running lean are on the good old subaru pistons.
Oh and IIRC if its an older classic it doesnt have a fuel low warning light!

Running out of fuel is not the same as running lean...

No but it WILL run lean for those cycles where only half the required amount is fired in.

Bang on... got mixed up. My old 93 JDM was 50litre, and the old 98 was 60 litres.

... and will this cause det and damage his pistons while driving slowly back and forth past the shell station as he suggested???

Driving at 100% on track with no fuel is a little different but its a bit over the top to say his engine will melt by running out of fuel LOL.
