Default Question

Can somebody explain to me how in the world I put 17gal of gas in my Eclipse easy? 95-96 should have a 15.9 gallon tank right? Drove to the gas station, 17gal of gas went in and I'm pretty sure my car is a 16gal MAX if even that. Car didn't spudder going to the gas station and I check to see if it went into the hatch (Paranoid ed). No leaks and it doesn't smell like gas. Anybody has any ideas?

The tanks are all 16.9 for 2g's. Plus alittle extra room for sloshing. When we pulled my FWD tank out it looked like it was below half full. I pulled over 8 gallons out.
