Last few fuel dots?!?
 

I remember reading this before but when I get to 3 dots remaining they seem to disappear And the range goes from like 40 to 20 to--- within like 5 miles.. Feels like I'm getting gypped

I also feel like the dots are not linear in relation to the gas tank. It takes like 100 miles to get rid of the first dot then the rest are just there to look pretty because they drop pretty quickly.

The dots are determined by a floating sensor in the gas tank. If you look at the shape of the gas tank, it is quite obvious why the dots disappear in the manner they do :ugh2:

I regularly take mine down to a single dot with -- Mileage Remaining reading on the display. I pay attention to my driving habits and my mileage per tank to know exactly how much gas I have left.

On other nissan's I have I refer to the fuel gauge as an empty gauge. Reads full for like 150 miles then drops down quickly. Same with the 370z

Just play it safe and fill up when you fall below half. One less thing to worry about with this car.

On my most recent cross country trip, i let it drop down to the last dot twice and each time i filled up it was over 18 gallons if this helps. I averaged 75mph the whole trip.

I think we only have a 19 gallon tank.. :eek:

I believe its 19.1 US Gal I have a pic somewhere on the forum showing an 18.1 Gal fill up but my record is 18.6 :icon17:

:ohsnap1:

I wanted to get 400 miles on the tank. I braved it to 405 miles on that single tank (lots of highway miles) before stopping at the HEB near the house on my way home :tup: My commute is about 7 miles one way, so I was just shy on my drive in that morning.

... SOB... Car read 3 dots, 43 miles left, took a dump...
No right hand turns either, lol
Lets see if it's the gas gauge's shíttiness or my fuel pump

Just fill up the darn tank! You bought a sports car and it's thirsty all the time.

... So, I got it to turn on... Shat myself about 40 times because I thought I was gonna get nailed... Filled it up. Took 14.9 gallons...

Can't quite understand why you guys let your fuel get so low. The fuel also assist the fuel pump in keeping it cool and does not strain itself.
