When the ignition
is on, your fuel gage tells you about
how much
fuel you have left. When the gage reads in
the yellow band, a warning
chime will sound and the
CHECK GAGES warning light will go on, if you have
this option. Here are some things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a problem with your fuel gage:

At
the service station, the gas pump shuts off before
the gage reads
FULL (F).
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the
gage indicated. For example, the gage may have
indicated the tank was half
full, but it actually took a
little more or less than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
The gage moves a little when you
turn a comer,
speed up, or make a hard stop.
The gage doesn't go back to
EMPTY (E) when you
turn off the ignition.
If you have the large span (220") gage, the
needle moves more for a given amount of fuel. This
does not indicate excessive fuel consumption, and
is normal.
