My low fuel light sensor is the only thing that seems to work properly. Unless the tank is full the fuel gauge won't go above empty. Then when it does it stays above 3/4 for a bit then plumets down to empty after a few gallons are used. Very crappy situation if that is a common problem with the SVX. I just thought it was mine. I never heard of a car with such a cheesy gauge let alone such an expensive flagship model

You can tell the lack of craftsmanship by the wrinkles in the duct tape.
