Re: Made peace with my gas gauge

I've now decided they are for full, 7/8, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and there is no empty mark.

I feel calibrated now. I'm even sleeping better at night.

BTW, Happy President's Day for any of you presidents out there.
I think my gas gauge works pretty normal. It doesn't climb up and fall down. It's pretty stabil. When the fuel warning light comes on, I still drag it for another 30-40miles then I can get 16.XX gallons about 33-35bucks. That's the most I have had.

I only got about 210-250miles/tank due to the hilly places all over and very stop-and-go traffics in this town. At the highway, the mpg is definitely improved.

For my observations in city,
F-3/4 - about 50miles,
F-1/2 - about 100+miles,
F-1/4- about 150+ miles,
F-warning light - about 190miles

I consistently spend about 250+bucks for gas money per month, is that any gas program we can get more gallons for the same price we pay, if we stick with the favorite gas station?

Btw, Happy President's Day too!
