Agreed.

On my Jeep CRD, there's at least a good 4 gallons of capacity above the full mark - more than that if I fill it up to the cap - and times I've went as much as 150 miles before it even came down to the full mark - picks up the pace some between full and 3/4 - rather slow from 3/4 down to 1/4 - then drops like a rock once below 1/4.
