Not exactly mass produced but IIRC the Ferrari 550 had a 25gal tank, 113.6 litres.

I think you might have killed this thread smile

Maybe capacity compared to engine size is the way to go. My 2 litre 924 GT had an 85 litre tank as part of the racing homologation specs, and it would do nearly 30mpg.

I thought my previously owned 1996 Jeep G Cherokee had a pretty generously sized fuel tank at 90L, however my recently acquired Merc W140 beats it at 100L. At €1.73 per L for 95RON here, it means I cry a little every time I need to fill it up.

Whats the biggest standard production tank on a mass-produced car?

(My Abarth 500 probably did a good job of having the smallest at only 35L)!
Our (non-Abarth) 500 has a 22L tank, and apparently the earlier versions had 20.

My GMC G20 dayvan took about 150 litres before I got bored and stopped filling it.
It wasn't full.
