Lol.

So how do you guys actually "know" when your next to empty. My odometer ( w/e its called that measures the amount of gas that I have) isnt accurate. At times, when I get close to empty, It will fluctuate.

When the gas light comes on.

your ODOMETER measures the amount of miles you have.

yes, many ppl have the fluctuation "problem".... just fill it up when theres around a 1/4 tank left. Sometimes I fill at 1/4, it will fill 8 gallons, sometimes 9....

Yeah one minute itsez empty then 1/4 tank next time i go to start the car im calling someone to bring me gas

same shit happens to me.
i always drive around below 1/3 tank (in case someone jacks my ride and wont get as far) and their are times where the gas light comes up and i panic. causing me to swerve thru traffic to find the next exit to 76 gas station. by the time i get their, its like 4 needles left :_doh:

fuk that gas light..:nono: .I know when its close to empty by how many miles I've gone. But when that gas light comes on and I fill up with 8 gallons...meaning that there are still 4 gallons in the tank I get PISSED! Thats still like 120 miles I could have gone easy!
