Re: Calibrating the fuel gauge
I may have to mark this one for future use. I have never had a working gas gauge on my truck since I bought it in 1973. Yes I have walked to a gas station a few times.
I've always filled the tank and have had a pretty good idea of how many mpg I get and could usually guess within a gallon of what it would take on road trips. Putting in a few bucks worth while running around locally was what messed me up. That might be a good game to play with yourself though. keep track of the miles between fill ups and estimate how many gallons it will take to fill it up at gas stops.
