I have 2015 LTZ 2.0
Owners manual states Fuel Tank capacity as 18.5 US gallons or 70 litres (I'm in Canada).

The low fuel light comes on at 80km (50 miles) remaining. I travel as close to the 80km as I can before filling (so zero miles/km left), but I only ever get about 63 litres (16.63 gallons) in the tank. Has anyone ever got close to capacity on a fill?

Is it possible at my mileage of 10km per litre (23.7 MPG), that I could get another 30 miles or so before getting close to empty?

Thanks!

Filled up today with 67.4 litres (17.81 gallons) Went 125km (78miles) past the fuel warning. So still have some room till empty.

Now will the warning system learn from this and give me a more representative warning now? Or is it based an a certain position of the sensor in the tank?

Well I ran out of fuel Friday. Of the Owners manual claimed Fuel Tank capacity as 18.5 US gallons or 70 litres, I was only able to fill up with 67.92 litres (17.94 US Gallons). I would have assumed with neck filler etc it might of been more.

But now I know I can't push it as far.
