ok i filled my tank completely up for the first time since i have owned my 88 gxl,only has 70,000 miles on it now and i put 87 octane in it today. i drove 24 miles and it was reading only 3/4 of a tank. think my gas gauge is bad , theres no leak or no visible leak anywhere? what could be causing this? the car runs perfect!!!!! help before i spend a hundred bucks this week on gas,lol

 

Did you have your foot into it alot?

I'm happy that I've driven 160 miles (mostly on the freeway) and still have a half tank in my vert.

 

no i was driving it easy as hell i didnt go over 4 grand.i dont know whats wrong? maybe someone stole some of it,lmao







waste ricers,allof them!!!!!!!!!! :teufel:

 

Did you reset your trip odometer when you filled up? If not try doing that. See how many miles you get to a full tank.

 

as soon as i filled it up i set set the trip odometer, as of right now it shows 99 miles at half a tank of 87 octane,im gonna replace my O2 sensor and see if that helps,maybe its the maf sensor? i dunno ill see if replacing the O2 sensor helps first. i just dont ge it the car runs strong as hell and is perfectly sound. o well gotta love rotary i guess









waste ricers,all of them!!!!!!!!!!! :teufel:

 

These cars gas gauges are quick to half, then they slow down a bit after that, go fill your tank now if youre nervous, and as long as youre getting 15+ MPG I wouldnt worry about it too much.

 

Good point there Rob, mine is also quick to get to half. I'd say about 90 miles too, from full to 3/4, maybe less and then drop down slowly.

 

I now have 220+ miles, and still got over a 1/4 tank. That is real good for my vert.

 

Hmmm.......Mine is slow to half (like most cars) and quick after half a tank??? . I get about 270-310 miles per tank. I fill up every time I get gas and do my mileage.

 

Man, I'd love to be getting that kinda of gas milage. I get about 115 to a full tank. Really sucks doesnt it!!!!!!! ut:
