Fuel Gauge not right
This came up on the Yahoo pages some time ago.
After heavy testing {and a lot of taking chances} it was found that, no matter what you get from the gauge, you can count on about another 15 miles once the light comes on.
Even without this in mind, a lot of us have tried to gauge the actual trip of the average SVX.
That turned out to be right at 375 miles before the light comes on, and somewhere around 390 to run the tank dry.
The gauge actually stands on it's head right about there.
I have run mine from slam full {in the neck} to 382 miles before gettin the heeby geebies, and just HAD to fill it up.
BUT. My gauge never got any better. So.
There ya go.
