I would say the manual capacity is right. I've stretched it out before and without completely running out of fuel, I was right around 17 gals.

Nice to know this forum is lightening up...I recall just a few months ago asking questions like this and getting flamed for not reading the manual. Lol.

Do tell.

When the light goes on, I have about 60 miles of driving left (roughly 15 mpg). If gas keeps going down, I'm prone to fill up before 1/4 tank.

I was driving back home when the light came on. So I thought I'll fill up when I get off the freeway. Unfortunately, I got stuck in bad traffic and still took my chances. Kept monitoring the range - which fluctuates a lot.

By the time I pulled over the needle was pretty much down to 0. And as I got the tankful, I filled some 17.1 gallons. So I am assuming I had maybe another 0.5 gallon at most.

hence, the 17.x number. 17.4 sounds totally believable.

Nice work! That was super lucky. At that rate, 1/3 gal would've gotten you 6 more miles tops. Most likely 3 in traffic.

Btw, in my '09, when the range is less than 20 miles, the range disappears and is replaced with an icon that shows you really need fuel (car with a gas pump) which I think is annoying. I know the range is low. Why replace it with a useless icon so I can't tell what the range is anymore?

It's the same way in all my other mercs: 09 GL450 - 07 E550 - 07 CLK350. and the 2011 c63

The range shows the gas symbol when it drops below 25.

If you push the back/return button does that icon go away? The button just below and to the right of the selector switch.

No, it's not like the "reserve fuel" notification. This icon stays and it's counter productive. I get that you're not supposed to rely on that gauge because it can fluctuate so much at such a low level, but to not be able to get rid of the icon is just silly.

Just to share we you lot, over here in Brunei, petrol is BND 0.53 per litre (USD 0.424 per litre) flat rate. So I'd spend like BND 32-34 per fill up (USD 25.6-27.2).

Coming back to your question OP.. yeah 17 gallons is about right

Damn. I guess it can be cheap there because it's expensive everywhere else in the world.
