9 gallons? I always fill up with over 11 gallons. One time, after I had run out, I actually crammed in close to 13 gallons.
It's been common knowledge that gas vapor recovery systems, required in most states, will not only suck vapors back into the gas station's tank, they will suck overflow gas back as well; better than having it run down the side of your car and all over the gas-pump area. I don't think there's any good way to know when this process starts, so I only fill S-LO-W-L-Y after the 1st kick, and stop pumping if the pump doesn't shut itself off within 1/2 gallon after that.
I like to live life on the edge so I usually drive about 40 miles before I fill up. I have been averaging right at about 36 mpg so I should be good for 60+ miles lol
