Oh I misread that completely.
I don't think any of our gas gauges are linear in their miles per block. Those of us that were the early adopters 2010-2013 went thru this exhaustively back in 2013. Some felt it should drop a block every 30 miles or so, but they are just not that accurate, or linear. Personally I've never relied on the gas gauge on either of my CB 1100's but rather I rely on my trip meter B, which I clear at every fill up. I know I can go 200 miles before needing gas, so before I take off in the morning I look at trip meter B and see how many miles I've ridden on that tank, and say, I'll need gas in 50 miles, or in 25 miles and then go from there. I never pay attention to the number of blocks lit up, because they are just not a reliable way to judge how much gas you have. IMO
I don't see any way Honda can fix it to read how you want it to read, where you see 1/2 the bars when you've used up exactly 50% of the fuel.
