Fuel gauge question
So today I was on a long highway drive and after fueling up the fuel range display said I had 730km to empty and the as gauge was reading full. Looked at the gas gauge a couple minutes later and it was reading empty and the fuel range was just showing 3 dashes. After about another 25km or so the gauge read full again and the range was 724km. Anybody else ever have this happen?Everything seems good now.

Thats not a good sign though..my buddies S10 does the same thing and apparently so do a lot of other/older GM vehicles. I never heard this issue with the new camaro but typically thats a problem with the sending unit.

Over 710 from Calgary to Saskatoon and I did it on 1 tank of fuel. Very pleasant surprise! :-)

Ya I've never seen mine read over 430km. I like the pedal too much.

From Edson Alberta to Hope B.C. I was just pulling into the Chevron when some bloke in a Jetta TDI came up to me with a grin on his face and said nice car I bet the mileage sucks. I told him I got 804 KM out of the tank. He looked rather deflated then slumped into his car. I think the calculation was about 25 MPG. All highway and I didn't go over 105 KPH
