And I especially wouldn't rely on the gas guage at the bottom of the tank if I can't rely on it at the top of the tank, nor would I think very many people are going to run the tank dry to find out where "E" really is...

Not to mention, the OP just wants to know if there's something wrong with his Z - there is, and it happened to mine and others too. It's not big deal to have the problem corrected, doesn't require that the dash be torn apart (which is what the OP was worried about), and it is covered under warranty. Don't know why this thread would make you laugh.

Wow indeed...

You're kidding right? You should be concerned with when you will run out of gas. Not how full you can get it.

You're kidding, right? You obviously did not read what I wrote; namely (emphasis added):

Actually, the last dot not lighting up can change how much gas the system thinks it has.
Since mine has failed to light up the last dot my MPG & range have gone completely out of whack with what it should be, cannot trust the system anymore.
