Fuel gauges aren't perfectly linear and the low-fuel light comes on with a few gallons still in the tank, so plan your stop before the last eighth.
At 19.0 gallons, the Taurus's largest tank ranks fourth of the six 2015 sedans compared here. The Hyundai Genesis carries the most (20.3 gal) and the Dodge Charger the least (18.5 gal).
