According to the Honda.com website the capacity is 11.9 (gal.). You can go to www.honda.com and click on "Owner link" (left side toward the bottom) and create an account for each Honda vehicle you own. If you have the VIN (located on the drivers side at the base of the windshield near the door) you can enter it and you will get all kinds of information about your vehicle including stuff like recalls (I found one on my '97) and other information.
I have a '00 Civic Si (coupe) and its tank is 11.9 gallons. Given that the base construction of all sixth generation Civic coupes is the same, then the tank is probably the same capacity on a '96 model.
If your talking about the Volkswagon Bug then it is approximetly the size of a civic coupe.
