How Accurate?

[NightRider_imp]

Pulled in to get gas with last bar blinking

It was showing 39 miles remaining



Toggled to B and it said I had gone 207.3 miles on this tank



toggled again it said I averaged 55.8 mpg on this tank



toggled again and it said I had used 3.7 gals gas



filled it up as normal to the bottom of the neck



turned around and checked the pump and I had put in 3.69 gallons of gas



With calculator 207.3 miles divided by 3.69 gals = 56.1 mpg (computer said 55.8)
Fuel pump said I filled up with 3.69 gallons of gas (computer said I used 3.7)

That's pretty darn accurate if you ask me

(still had approx .9 gallon of gas in the tank I am assuming for a 4.6 gallon tank or about 49 miles at 55 mpg... computer said 39 miles left)

When I get to the last bar I think "gas up or push very soon" cause if you are going up hill you need to divide that number you had by pie and going downhill you need to subtract pie, apple pie. Then get ready to push very very soon.
So, pretty amazing what they did in the seventies, they had a reserve petcock that they turned when they suddenly lost power and prayed that was the problem. Sometimes it was.

I guess if you open up your tank and can see your reflection in the gas then it's still all good. Right?
