    Are Fuel gauges sentient? Discuss...

    When I bought my surf 6 weeks ago, it had 1 gallon of diesel in it and was well into the red bit. A couple of weeks ago, I ran out of fuel with the gauge showing a fair bit under quarter full. Today I ran out of fuel with the gauge showing over a quarter full. This time in a more awkward place, on the same stretch of motorway, than the last time!

    My conclusion is therefore that my fuel gauge is indeed sentient and is out to get me...
    Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's

    I would say so as mine is always consistant

      Don't use that stretch of motorway!

        Put fuel in on a more regular basis.

              Cancel that, there's no Pixies in Airth (where I first ran out) the Goblins scared them off...

                Mines got a sense of humour. It reads whatever it wants, and that can be anything from bone dry to full to the brim, it will even alter settings whilst you drive (unnerving watching your fuel gauge go up while bombing down the motorway). Until I hit 200kms trip, and after that it's bang on accurate until the light (at which point I panick and head for a fuel station with supermarket, or should that be supermarket with fuel station).
                Gone from 4x4 to 1x2

                  mine has always been consistantly accurately, sorry :/

                  Anything from 280-285 miles then the light pops on, if i fill her almost straight away will get 50 odd litres max in. Going by the book capacity of the tank that still leaves a fair reserve...

                  Have taken it to 305 on a few occasions, not often tho as the stains tend to dpoil the upholstery.
