Default Re: Fuel Gauge Readings

Stan, intresting info, thanks!

I am starting to see a trend on my TCH, when I get the low fuel lght, i try very hard to not fill it yet, as I always seem to get to the 0 miles to empty, then only put in 14.1-14.4 gallons US...Yesterday, I decided I would stretch it a little bit...i was reading 8 miles to empty, then in less than 1 mile, it went to 0 left, and never came back up. Also, the guage started showing below E. I am aware of sloshing and such, but it became very nerveracking to drive like that, and I filled up taking only 14.5 gallons. Same station and pump as I usualy use. The computer reported 40.6MPG, and calculated was 40.5MPG I had gone 587 miles...not too shabby I would say.
