The tank's probably a bit deformed so that it'll take more than the standard 70 liters - pretty common on onld cars. My 750-800 calculation was based on my (real) MPG with a 70 liter tank rather than from personal experience, since I rarely run it below 1/4 of tank. I fill it up whenever I'm near Slovenja, which is pretty often having to go to university in Trieste. It costs 15% less there.
