Asian 2nd Grader because American 2nd Grader can't even subtract two digit numbers.

No disrespect to American 2nd graders just our educational system sucks.

I've had it go to --- and filled up, only to have it take just under 18 gallons.

IIRC there's this one time when the --- came up right when I turned into a gas station. I filled up 68 Liters. So 18 gallons seems to confirm.

Serious question tho, what level of math does 2nd Graders in America learn?

I keep mine above 1/4 of a tank.

Mine has done this a couple of times but you will be fine. I have driven on mine when it said '----' for 20 miles with no issue.

I'm glad there's one person that has gone as far as I have. I was to lazy on my way home from work to stop for gas an it went from reading 29 miles to --- to ---- a few seconds later. I'll probably put a gallon in with a can the fill the rest at a gas station just to be safe. But I'll be sure to keep it above 1/4 tank from now on.

Mine came on Sunday night and said I had 35 miles left. I cleared the warning and there were two dots left on the meter. I drove probably about 25 miles after that and was still at one dot when I got to a gas station. Car took almost 19 gallons to fill!

Rhinetom · 12-21-2010, 08:23 AM

Same issue with mine. I look for fuel once level drops to a quarter tank. I really dislike the cheesy gas gauge.

By the time I hit the next mile, it "----" out as if I have no fuel left. Because of this, I have no real Idea when I will really run out of fuel. While I don't mind stopping and getting fuel once it says 40 miles left, I would hope it never happens when I am on the freeway with 5 or 10 miles to the next gas station.

Anyone else have this issue?

Close enough.
Mine went something like 42 mile range. 35 a minute later, then 29 to --. 12 miles later I needed 17.4 gallons. This is the only time I let the tank get low. I learned my lesson.

I did have 42 miles of range.

I usually don't pay much attention to the "remaining miles" but to the actual number of remaining lighted dots on the meter... I would think that is more accurate than an ECU estimate of how many miles you can still go...

RCZ · 12-21-2010, 09:01 AM

Our fuel gauges are awful..just all around poor execution by Nissan. Most of the time when my gauge reads completely empty, no dots and no miles left...I gas up and turns out I still had 6 gallons in the tank...its really frustrating.

kenchan · 12-21-2010, 10:24 AM

lol.

i too usually just pump gas when i pass the 1/4 tank mark.

ive had driven it down to when it does the countdown but i dont trust it much. plus i keep staring at it and so it's a distraction while driving.

When that alert comes on the ugly yellow screen you'd think the car had blown its engine, or the country was under attack, or there was a sale at Harbor Freight!
