alright i think my fuel guage is messed or something. i drove to riverside (60 miles) with about a quarter tank left to see how many miles i could go on a full tank (came out to around 370). ok, im driving along. light comes on, i leave it. needle jumps up, light turns off. that happens 2 more times. as i was stuck in traffic with my fuel needle at the E line, i started to panic (plus i really had to take a whiz). So im thinkin about how im gonna have to pull to the shoulder and walk for some gas, the needle jumps back up again. i drive another 3-4 miles to a gas station, thanking my baby for saving me from embarassment.
well anyway, does anyone else have this? where the gas needle jumps up/light turns off when youre close to E? |

i drove once till i had 1/2 a gallon of gas left, didnt hear a beep sounds like something i should try. when gas gets low, the angle of the car comes into play, and starting and stoppingmoves the gas around enough to affect the gauge, which has a slow response time. -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
