Mildly infuriating...

The amount of gas in my tank largely depends on the slope of the ground according to my gauge
SpecialOedipus
That and rapid acceleration pushing all the fuel to the back of the tank. It's funny watching my gauge go from 1/2 to 1/4 and back to 1/2.

Is it because the tank is wider in the middle? Float could only measure height of fuel not volume?
krugle
That's pretty much why.

0%, 15%, 50%, 85%, 100%. Isn’t that how everyone divides things into 4 parts?

Fuel gauges are chronic liars anyway. Just run out once, and you'll know how big your tank actually is.

So true

My 1st car, ‘84 S10 Blazer, had a 20 gallon tank and 20 notches. 16 y/o me was convinced each notch was a gallon. 16.5 y/o me learned better

My car has a digital gauge. I love it.
Unless you drive a diesel then don't run out unless you want a new engine.
Yup. Good fuel economy from those though, generally speaking. I used to get 53mpg all day ragging the hell out of mine.

The only problem I see is the fact that the center of all the lines doesn't meet the center of the dial.

There's three notches between big notch 1 and 2, then five between 2 and 3, then five again, then three?
Holy shit what the fuck is wrong with them what's wrong with me why didn't I see that im actually mad
My sincerest apologies for a non axially aligned photo. I'll try harder next time.
