Hello! I'm looking around 'mud for information regarding this, but it seems everyone has the opposite problem; Their gas tank has gas remaining even thought it states it is empty. My problem is completely opposite. I may be long winded, but I'm trying to paint a complete picture for you all.
I drive in CA 99.99% of the time. I filled up in vegas yesterday, and drove back to LA. At 3/4 tank, it stated I had only driven 60 miles, However, i was fighting those crazy winds and figured this could have affected by MPG. By the time I made it home, my gauge was reading accurate (well, typical, 1/8th tank with 330 miles on the odo). This morning I ran out of gas, and the gas light had not even come on yet. I put a gallon or so in, and it started right up.
Summary: I ran out of gas with 1/8th of a tank remaining on my gauge. This is troublesome. I dont want to run out of gas!
Any ideas? I feel like the issue lays in the communication between the tank and the gauge, possibly the sender? I'd love some assistance/ideas prior to taking it to a shop!
Thanks
Phillip
