| Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but thought this might be useful. In case someone is wondering about current design/function of fuel gauge.
This picture was taken about 5 highway miles after the "idiot" light came on just before filling the tank. I was able to put in 21.053 gallons at this point but I had to hit the pump trigger about 20 times more after it auto stopped pumping to make sure the tank was COMPLETELY full.
The extra trigger pulls put it at the 21.053. If you drive in areas that may not have gas stations every couple miles (U.P. & ALCAN come to mind), this is good info to know.
Oh yeah, standard 26gal tank and getting about 16.5mpg city, hwy is as yet to be determined. |
