Cool

Anyone having trouble with their gas needle as far as accuracy is concerned? I find for the first 50 miles it indicates that I'm full, then it tumbles from there, yet the gas is still in the tank. I find left turns make a difference in my car, as far as making the needle go back up. Anyone else having a similar problem?

I've tried to get used to having the needle fall on me so quickly, but it would be nice to know exactly how much fuel Im workin with ya know. ****...I'm not about to waist the money to repair this... just wonderin if it was just me. It gets kinda annoying.

yea i get problems with mine too...my empty is actually at 1/4 tank! but you get used to it and it comes as second nature to read your gas gauge. I think my problem is from when i installed my gauges though. i dont beleive it should be anything to worry about.

In my car a right turn is a death sentence. Almost seems like the fuel has just poured out of the car... of course if you make a left for just as long the gas magically comes back.

how much do you put in your tank? maybe your gas tank has a dent on it, causing an imbalance with your fuel level.

I've got the 2000 S. I fill my car up usually. And for the first 50 miles or so I'd say the needle reads accurate. After that... its hit and miss.
