   My 2wd Westy has the same stated tank capacity. Once, in a fit of
inattention on a boring Interstate highway,  I let it get really low
before I was able to find a gas station.  It was still running fine, but
took 15.3 gallons to fill up.

   I generally refill at about 1/8 tank.  If I wait for the fuel gauge
needle to barely touch the red line, I have just a little over three
gallons of fuel left.
