You guys talking about the Half-Tank Gauge???
Yeah.......you guys need to have that fixed. It _should_ indicate somewhere
between half and Full for the first half of the fuel tank and then (140mile
mark for mine) fall immediately to Empty and start giving you the
persistent "you've-only-half-a-tank-left" red indicator.
If it's not doing _that_ then somethings wrong. Rattle your dealers cage
until he gets yours to truthfully indicate which half of the fuel load
you're working on........
