I found the guage in mine was more inconsistent than inaccurate. With a full tank, it would do 120 miles before dropping to 3/4 full. But another 120 and it was at 1/4!! However, the last 1/4 would go at least another 100 miles before the solid warning light appears. The light never scares me anymore though as there always seems to be at least a good 30 miles left!

Is it still recommended these days not to let your tank run too low between refills? Story of dirt etc in the tank...
I have a long habit of going from completely full to almost completely dry and recording the volume so I can keep track of the mpg.
