R50/53 Gas

I usually do...but I wasn't near a gas station. I should be able to count on not running out of gas at 52 miles. I also hardly ever run my car less then a half tank. I get better gas mileage if I fill up at half or more.

Yah... makes me wonder if something else is up. When my car was first delivered to me I ran out of gas and it showed well over a quarter tank on the gauge (again, this was literally the first tank from the dealer). It turned out to be a problem with the tank-side fuel pump. I would keep an eye on it and see if develops into a regular problem, you may have a sensor problem or something along those lines.

My recollection goes back to the '51 DeSoto and continues thru many cars long past to our current funmobile. Every one of them used the bottom half of the tank faster than the top half. Take if from an old pilot; it is far better to burn the top half than the bottom half. At the 1/4 mark, I trust the gauge like I would a pet rattlesnake.

The fuel gauges are about as useful as no fuel at all in the wings...
