Max fuel capacity
Okay so owning my 06 SS for the last 8 years has told me when I'm really low on gas I can squeeze in around 12.4 gallons. I believe the manual says the tank is 12.3 gal. Last night my mileage indicator said I could go 7 more miles, so basically it's empty right? Well I pumped in 13.3 gallons.
Anyone else ever manage to pump in that much fuel? I'm starting to think that gas station is rigged. Something smells fishy! Just wondered what everyone else's cars can take at the pump.

I was kinda thinking the DIC was set to run out with a reserve, cause one time I really stretched it trying to get home it said I had 0 miles remaining yet I made it 5 miles more to the next gas station. I drove 110 miles a day for work for 5 years and every 3-4 days I was running it close to dry. I am still amazed the stock fuel pump has lasted 195k miles. I'm pretty impressed with my ecotec!!

I've actually never done it in my 20 years of driving. I've been REALLY close a couple times. One car was literally stumbling into the station off an exit ramp. But when you drive 600 miles a week for work, you find ways to stretch it so you don't have to stop every 2.5 days to fill up.
