Gas tank question
From everything I've read, most tanks in a 3rd gen (1991) is close to 15.5 gallons. Why do I have a 22 gallon tank in my 91 Fbird? Just curious.

How much fuel does it take when the gauge shows empty?? Or, how many miles per tank?

Some guys were talking about this a while back. It seems that you could order a 22 gallon tank--I don't know if it was part of an RPO (likein the 1LE package) or not. It does, however, exist.
Good if you do lots of long distance driving...and have a huge bladder to match.

1LE didn't add any capacity to the gas tank.
