I used the "fill er up when the light comes on" trick for a while, untill I started up an overpass and only made it half way up, darn light died.

Often fuel gauges are set wrong from the factory, Cadilac produced a car with a gauge that worked and customers complained of bad fuel economy so they went back to the industry standard of top half = 2/3 of the tank, bottom half = 1/3. Try it sometime, fill up most cars at 1/2 a tank and you'll put up to 2/3 of the capacity not including reserve in. This is also why you can drive most cars 30-60 miles before the needle moves off of full.
Hehehe, nope, I'm definitly not a Ricer!!! ... I just know about them because my friend back in Military academy (kinda like a younger brother actually) had one... He didn't know much about turbo cars so I did most of the work on it for him...
