My gas gauge doesn't work and I have to keep up with the odometer to know when to stop for fuel. I lost track of the mileage last week and stopped at the Shell station. I was stunned to watch it consume 18 GALLONS!!!! First off, I must have been only a few yards from running out of gas, and second, I thought the tanks behind the seat was only supposed to hold 16 gallons? What's the capacity supposed to be?
