I was wondering how the low fuel light would work with this tank. Looks like the same sending unit is used in both tanks. Car gets 31mpg with no load @ 75mph. 28 with moderate load, 26 when sagging in the rear (4 persons with luggage) 95L would be sweet! I assumed the tank volume was exactly as listed.
