Being that it is based around a motorcycle, Id guess 5 gallons? So approx 1150miles per tank. Imagine if it were to be 10 gallons. The service manual would read "At 2500 miles fill the gas tank back up and change the oil."

that's kinda what I was thinking. I could fill up, drive to NorCal and visit my brother. drink some beers...sleep em off. Wake up...fill up and drive back. and probably still have gas to get to work the next day. haha

Wait a minute... Where did the next 70MPG disappear to? I thought it was supposed to be a 300MPG car!

I am guessing that the tank is at least 10 gallons from the video I posted up.
They say, from NY to LA on one tank of gas.
