Weird gas tank question out of curiosity... I went to fuel up today and I decided to see how much I could squeeze in the tank. My needle was showing the tank being about 1/4 left.
I squeezed 13.974 gallons in what is supposed to be a 12.9 gallon tank. And that's with the needle showing it to be 1/4 of the way full.
How the hell...

That smaller 15.5 gallon steel tank just happens to weigh more than the newer, larger plastic ones too.

So then this must be a typo:
http://media.gm.com/division/canada/...998Camaro.html
At the bottom, it says fuel capacity is 12.9 gallons. Weird.
