Tank Capacity
While not strictly related to fuel economy, this is a common question on the forums. The 'offical' tank capacity of an elise is 36L, however brimming a completely empty elise can take up to 45L.
Fuel Guage
S1
The fuel guage on an S1 elise is hopelessly unreliable. On the S1, there is a digital readout which displays: Full>34L>33L>32L...11L>Refill. This can change by as much as 6L on a long corner, but 'Refill' normally means you have about 10-15% capacity remaining (good for about 30 miles of steady driving).
S2
The S2 fuel guage is a simple 5 segment display which obscures erratic readings simply by having a less granular display.
