Having been cruizin around in my 68 bug and filling it several times i was wondering does any one know how many gallons the tank holds altogether? I am currently getting 32 mpg and i fill up when the needle is on the "R" . It seems to take 30 litres, but how much further can i push my luck? If 30L is about the limit then i am getting roughly 350km to the tank, but my guess is it should be about 8 gallons / 34/35 litres.

Thanx
Ned

id vouch for that too.. 37 litres is the go.

in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
