[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1020626, member: 70985"] "especially when they quote the amount of gas they used as 1/4 tank full," My '02 will get 100 miles on the top 1/4 tank, and currently has 175 miles on about 1/2 tank, but it won't go that far on the bottom 1/2 tank. Point being my gas gauge is not consistent in it's degree of accuracy throughout the range. My '01 is pretty consistent, though. I had a '68 F-250 years ago that I drove 50 miles after it hit empty. (Dad didn't get 2 miles in it the next day, and yeah, I heard about it!!) On the other hand, I almost ran out of gas in his '70 F-250 with 1/8 of a tank showing on the gauge.
