I have an 2005 and I think has a 12.5gal. There is no way mine is 14.5 gallons. I have run that sucker dry and have pumped 12.8gal MAX. Maybe they increased the tank size after 2005

I can drive quite a distance below R with the light on. When I go that far I can usually put +13gals in.

nope, 14.5 gallon tank. the gas gauge is alittle misleading. most i have managed to put in was just under 13.5 gallons after driving around with the warning light on for like 45 minutes on the interstate.

Ya know, I checked my manual, and it does say 14.5. I know the gas guage is misleading because I take it way below the line more often then I should. I've gotten to a point where it will sputter a little when turning and still have not pumped more then 13 gallons. I guess it is possible, but that would mean that there is 1.5 gallons of pretty much useless gas in the tank.
