What size gas tank do I have???
 
I'm trying to figure out the size of my gas tank and I think that it's around 12 gallons. If someone's really bored, I'm getting about 220-230 miles to the tank, what's my gas mileage? I think that the straight pipes have helped considerably with my gas mileage.

So the question still lingers, what size gas tank do I have? Another question, I noticed that the weight of my car is like 4200 lbs, don't the lx hartops weigh roughly 3500 lbs.?

4200lbs!? I think that's a bit high. I think my standard cab LB '94 F-150 4x4 weighs 4500-4750lbs...

no backpressure since the exhaust is flowing straight through.

To figure out your gas mileage:
-Fill up your car all the way
-Write down mileage (or set trip odometer to zero)
-Drive around for a while, the longer you drive on that tank, the better of an average it will give you
-Fill up your car all the way again
-Take the number of miles you drove on that tank divide it by the amount of gas you put in your second car, and it will tell you your mpg
