how accurate ?
how accurate are the gas gauges in our trucks ?
today I took a trip down to Hollywood FL, and when I left Sebring area, I had 1/2 a tank. I made it to my destination with pretty much exactly a 1/4 tank.
I filled up the tank just as I was leaving, and the exact same trip home used more than 1/3 (between 1/3 and 1/2) of a tank ?

I think it just depends a lot on how much you actually fill it up.. I run mine to the top of the filler tube.. You may just stop filling after the pump stops the first click?
Either way I get s@#% for gas mileage so... Ha.

seems like the second half to E always lasts longer on both rangers and my integra, but i only fill with a 1/4 tank anyways now. keeps the truck lighter for better mpg and handling, stops stressing the suspension as much for ranger lean and if some one trys to siphon me, boohoo, im out 10 bucks at the most
