Fuel gauge. Is it crap at being accurate, or just mine.

Is My Tank Bigger Than All Of Yours ??? =S

It's 138.9 for a litre of petrol where I am :o

I find my gauge starts dropping faster when it gets down towards empty. If I brim it, it stays full for ages.
Guessing it's just something to do with the shape of the tank, or how they're measuring it.

5.) If you make it back home on a cloud of fumes then you sir are a WINNER!! And your prize is that your partner will go to use the car in the morning and will fill it up with lots of lovely fuel for you!

If she makes it to the fuel station herself , not so much fun for us diesel owner who I presume would have to prime our cars in this situation . But yes I have notices this as well, it does drop quicker at the second half of the gauage. My achievement - Just cost me £64 to fill up from warning light...I got 643 miles on my last tank in my 110 HDi haha
