Whealll let us see! I really didn't notice the guage (and how many little dashes there were <thats how I read a ruler though>) but the light was on. And it stayed on. So I started calculating in my head 10 x 37 = 370 + 37 = 407. Whew - I can get back to PA where there is about a 5 cent per gallan difference.
Filled up at 393 miles. You realize, that is about 50-55 cents savings there. Or put another way....two quarters for the car wash
Did that twice...As long as I KNOW the car was "topped" off the last tank, I should be comfortable anytime less than 400 miles per tank.

When I was making the speedo light blue, I cracked the mounting base on the gas needle. I was able to Krazyglue it, but it wouldn't hold enough to let me adjust it...
