I'm probably the odd man out here, but sometimes I just dont have the time to fill up and I push it to the limit. The last time I filled up, I put in 17.5g and the gas gauge needle was a couple widths below the empty mark.

Probably just BS, but the car seems just fine fueling at 1/2 notch and it's always full when I stop fueling.

Feeding the Car

With all these fancy high-tech components in the new C-Class, it's time we looked beyond the car to its environment. One of these places is the local gas station ....

Seems like the future is here already. I wonder if they gas up full-on or at half-notch?
