35.7 gallon tank?!?!!?

My manual says 30 gallons but it must only have a 25 gallon tank on it because even after driving 20-25 miles past when the fuel buzzer comes on it only takes about 23+ gallons to fill it up.

A 5-1/2 foot bed Screw has a 30 gallon tank.
A 6-1/2 foot bed Screw has a 27 gallon tank.
A 6-1/2 foot bed Screw has the 35.7 gallon tank option for $95.00.

My last Screw was a longbox with the 27 gallon. I cursed it from day one. When putting on over 800-900 a week then, the tank size was just off enough to make me miss my usual fuel stops by 50-60 miles. I found most dealers didn't know it was optional, and now that they do, it seems the extra capacity they shy away from because they thinbk the average Joe with biss a pitch when filling up because of the extra gallons.

Right now I'm hunting for the longer bed in a Lariat of King, and those few I find rarely have the 35.7 gallon tank. The only thing harder to find is the trailer tow mirrors!

A 37 Gallon Tank? Wow! How'd you pull that special order off? Just kidding around. I had a 6-1/2 foot bed with the standard tank (27 gallon) and I had to fill up every other day. I am looking forward to the new one with the optional 35.7 gallon... I may get to only fill up twice a week now.

Problem is... they are all 5-1/2 foot beds, too.

There aren't many of you out there...
I just picked up the only long bed on the local Ford dealer in GA. I haven't seen a lot of long beds in GA.
