I have a 05 screw with a 30 gallon tank and the gas gauge will read empty but when I fill it up there will be 7-9 gallons still in the tank, I have talked to dealer twice about this and they tell me which they gave me the print out from ford, that crazy gas gauge is due to regional areas with bad gas causeing the sending unit to act crazy and all you have to do is run some chevron fuel cleaner in a couple of tanks and that should take care of the problem... Only problem is my truck only has 6k miles on it... And it even says in the ford print out that they dont really know what to do about it... Nice should have thrown that little bit in when they were throwing that sales mojo on me...

So far i have only seen the little computer say low fuel level. In my ranger i could go all the way below E and still have gas. How far can you go on this beast before she runs dry?

Where did you find a truck that will run 1,250 miles on a tank of gas?
I can only get around 350, tops.

I felt so stupid! i had to leave it there and go get gas....haah

$89 at last fill up. About 32 gallons. Normally, I'm around $100 to fill up the entire tank, 34-35 gallons. Makes you think twice about buying a scooter.
