Ford chose an interesting low fuel guage
This is really random but something has been bothering me about the low fuel guage.
First of all, Ive never owned a vehicle that said "check gage" when it was low on fuel. Usually is says "low fuel" or something.
Second of all, I have yet to figure out why Ford couldnt even spell guage correctly. Im assuming this has something to do with lack of space, but still.
I know this is random but I was just wondering if anyone else found this annoying.

Actually either spelling of "gauge" or "gage" is correct..

It must be language evolution because modern dictionaries accept both spellings- gage or gauge. (which you misspelled BTW).
