Full tank is assumed to be full, i.e. at capacity. Thus, it would be 18.5 gallons.

Number of miles per tank is much easier for folks to estimate. Granted, there will be slight discrepency in mileage of a few miles but not that much different. To be specific:

280 miles on a tank ~ 15.1 mpg <-- statistical mean for members here
300 miles on a tank ~ 18.5 mpg
350 miles on a tank ~ 18.9 mpg
400 miles on a tank ~ 21.6 mpg

So, to make things even simpler, those who're claiming 22+ mpg in 4Runner should be getting at least 400 miles on a tank. Personally, I find it very difficult to be believe, especially when towing a trailer. And that's my point. =)
