[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1432333, member: 19880"] Keep in mind that the last bar disappears with about 1.5 gallons left and goes to the flashing bar with the count-up odometer - enough for 50-60 miles as long as you aren't abusing the throttle or sitting in traffic. On both my Gen II, this was pretty consistent and I found the gas gauge to be as linear as on most other vehicles as long as I fill it completely (otherwise the first bar is less). About a fifth of the total capacity is after you hit "reserve". Gen III is a bit different but I think linearity and the reserve amount are similar. People have been known to "adjust" their fuel sender by bending the wire for the float to make it more "correct" but I would not recommend it unless yours is reading very differently than most.
