Exactly. Here is the thing. This is a street car, no one is expecting it to be able to get down to 2 gallons. Yet, is it really that much to ask for a car that can go down to 3/8? (I have to fill up at the 12-13 gallons mark at the track). I actually wasn't mad that I had the fuel pick up issue at 1/4 tank on the street. I am more mad at the fact that I was stranded because the design was so poor that it takes HOURS for fuel to leak back to the other side. It's one thing for a quick stutter or two, it's another to be sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

Here are cars that have similar problems, but no where as severe as the 370z. I will exclude the ones that get it at 1/4 tank.

STI/EVO/S2000/Elise

C6 and 350z can get down to 1/4 tank
