Fuel gauge

[David Herlihy <davidh1972@yahoo.com>]

Not to beat a dead horse. Last night I figured I was
getting down to the end of the barrel on fuel. The
needle was just above the red marks and the light
hadn't gone on so I decided that I would try to see if
I could make it home on that. Well the light went on
immediately as i started driving. Great... so I
decided to press on knowing I might end up in the Ran
Out of Fuel Club :)

Well the light went off eventually and stayed off. I
filled the car up and the needle was on the red then.
Lo and behold I have about 3-4gallons left. Whoever
calibrated this gauge needs to have a swift kick in
the butt b/c to me that isn't really nearing empty. 

Stretching a tank of gas is something I don't really
like doing but it is just curious how quickly this
gauge moves when it really shouldn't. I suppose they
are all that way??

End of ranting.

On a positive note I'm enjoying this car more and more
everyday. Still going through withdrawl from giving up
my pride enjoy old Peugeot 504 though... call me weird
I know.
