Gas tank size WAS: Happy update

[Jonas Karlsson <jkarlsso@metabolex.com>]

Yup, 13.7 sounds right.  But...

One time (and one time only) I ran out of gas 4 blocks from the gas 
station and managed to hobble it the rest of the way. I rolled up to the 
pump and filled it up with 14.0 gallons. I guess the filler neck holds 
some as well. 

I think that settles it.
