Like, if your A109 had tanks so small that the non-reserve capacity was only good for 45 minutes, you'd be able to say you're at full fuel with 7 people, but what good would that be?
Except that, if one watches the video I posted above, he is stating five passenger, 27 kg of baggage (it's unclear if that is total or per passenger) and full fuel for three hours duration. So, maximum passenger load, some luggage, maximum fuel and maximum range. Sweet.
