Mine seems to be pretty accurate. It showed right at 1/4 tank this morning and took just over 14 gallons to fill.
My '97 Chevy truck was an entirely different story.
Fill it up and it was way over "F".
120 miles into the tank, the needle was on "F".
175 miles, I was at 3/4
250 miles, I was at 1/2.
270 miles, I was at 1/4.
300 miles and I was just above "E".
I learned to live with it but I feel sorry for the 16 year old kid whose parents are buying it from me. I guess she'll learn to carry a gas can in the back.
