Just currious, for my own knowledge

About 1/8" under the E is the most I've ever been - and I think I still had about 2 gallons in there.

WAAAAY too low for me... typically it's that low because I'm running late for work, and dont have the time to stop ... like this morning

Mine will be sitting on E, and I will go fill up and still get about 20 gallons every time, for some reason the gas gauge on our trucks is pretty terrible. We have 25 gallon tanks if I remember correctly.

not sure about anyone else but my gas gauge wil bounce around and stick and a lot higher level than is really in the tank. Simple bump on the dash and it goes where it belongs

WOW
If we have 25 gallon tanks I have 3 gallons +/- left in the tank. When i fill up i usualy put 22 gallons in and thats when the needle is at the bottom of the red line

Does this sound right??

Thanks Luke
