I haven't run mine out of gas yet but im sure she's been darn close! Most I've put in is 21.3. It always cuts off around 18 and 19 when i think i'm about to run out but one time i just kept topping off til i saw it at the nozzle and that was 21.3. I want to say that my manual also says it has a 20.5 or 21.5 gallon gas tank.

I try not to run it past the 1/4 full mark so that I won;t stir deposits sinc eit is old and not sure how well was taken care of... but
built sheet says I have a 20 gal tank and the most I have put in it was 13 gal and that was with the needle just on the red mark....
seems strange to me but who can really trust these gauges anyway ;)

when i got mine it had a hole i the tank so i had to fill it up after i put a new tank in it...it took every bit of 20 gallons cause i had 4 5-gallon cans ready...since then i've filled up when i hit a 1/2 tank...my grandfather always told me it was cheaper to run on the top half of a tank and i figure also that gives me a reserve if i need it

My old 98 most i put in was right at 20.
my old 93 I ran it out once and put 22 in it but that was up to the cap.
Pops98xj's 98 I filled it up on the way back from DC once and put in a little over 20.

There are 2 different size gas tanks avaible on xjs one is a 20gal and the other is 15 i think.

There is a mod you can do to make the stock 20 gal hold more I will see if I can find it.

How many miles do you get to 1/2 tank? I do about 130 to 150 miles...

It is either a 13.5 gal tank or 20 gal.

And here is a mod for older xjs to hold more gas.

I can get up to 200 on the 1/2 tank mark,but that is rare.That is with 31x10.50&3.55 gears.I still haven't corrected the speedo gear for correct mileage calculation.Get around to it sooner or later.

i get bout 180-200...filled up today and figured my milage at 19.87 mpg...my average over the last 3 months is 19.76 mpg...i'm sure once i get it lifted and tires on it that's gonna drop though...i usually take the back roads to town doing round 50 mph and rarely get on the interstate
