Okay it must be that the '03 and '04's get the 19.5gallon tank and it's the '05+ that get the 20.5gallon tank.Like I said I may have been off on some of the years but I do know that '02's came with a 18.5gallon tank.Thanks for clearing that up.
Yup, the '04 has the 19.5 gal tank. The confusion may be because about 4 gal of that is 'reserve' (or at least on mine it is). My fuel warning light comes on when there is about 4 gal left in the tank. If I fill it up then, I invariably end up putting 15.5 gal (and about $45) in the tank to top it off. The 'reserve' gives you about 60 miles (at 15 mpg) to find a gas station.
I have always wondered if '60 miles' was an industry 'reserve' standard because both my '98 Corolla and my '07 Jetta had/have about 2 gal available after the fuel warning light comes on and both got about 30 mpg.
my 05 owners manual said that there was 2.8 gallons of fuel left when the light came on.
