Default fuel issues ?

I'm pretty sure the lower model EG hatchbacks came with a 9 gallon tank, the CX at least.

Don't run the car out of gas, it's bad for the fuel pump.

You did not mention in your first post that you have an Si, so I included that bit.

If you have a 12 gallon tank, it shouldn't start to choke out of fuel until you are 10.5-11 gallons down.
