[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1449076, member: 93203"] Like I said, the fuel gauge is just a "guesstimator". Or, a wet thumb in the air to judge where the wind comes from, etc. It gives you an approximate idea about how much fuel left in your tank (all bars indicate fuel up to the top, and the last flashing bar means that the pool is on its way to dry out), that's about how I look at it. MPG should not be judged by the fuel gauge. Use more precise instruments like your odometer or GPS, and the gallons readout on the fuel pump at full fill up to calculate that value. [/QUOTE]
