Re: How much miles on exactly 1/2 tank form full?
On my trip between Reno, NV and Orange County, id get about 200 miles before crossing below half tank, doing about 65-70mph. But when id fill up from there, itd only take about 7 gallons..... meaning the SVX has one hell of a reserve. Your gas gauge works off of resistance.... so id bet somewhere in the sender wire you have some extra resistance, or for some reason you are getting HORRID mileage. Id drive it from full to empty with someone following you with a 5 gallon gas can, at least after you hit E, to see if its just your gauge before you spend gobs of time or money diagnosing a problem that might not exist.
