dodgy fuel gauge

[melissachels]

mine seems pretty accurate, mind you, a habit of filling up as it gets to the last segment avoids any embarrassing RAC call-outs

yeah mine's is fine after a 1/2hr journey, not good on short ones cos it does even start 2 raise! i gotta go by how many miles i've done and how many litres i last but in.

i rarely go into the red section cos i have no idea how much it holds and can't be bothered waiting on rac if i misjudge :doh too many other things 2 be doin, like cleaning looking after the kids ect, :augie :lol
