I once ran my '89 out of gas and coasted into a gas station.

When I filled it up, it took 18.6 gallons!

(I think I may have scanned the receipt and have it somewhere...)

  i recently had to fix a crack in my gas tank, and so siphoned out all the
gas.
  put just enough back in to drive to the gas station (3 mi.) filled it the
  whole way up. 20 gallons!!!  thought that might be of interest to some
people.
  no wonder i never ran out or gas, even when i thought i ran it very empty
  (18.6 gal)
