I don't really like our cluster. Once I had like 3 bars left and fell to 0 bars within a couple of minutes. Freaked me out.

Well, the S2000 tank holds 13.6 gal I think, and the light usually comes on when there are two gal left in the tank. The best way to really know how much gas you think you have is to know what kind of mpg you get and what kind of driving you're doing.

For example, if you are 50/50 highway/city, and you know you get 24 city and 28 highway, that means you should be getting 26 average, so at 286 miles, you'd have 2 gal left and the light should be coming on.

Of course, this isn't exact, but it gives you an idea. You should really track how many miles you get between fill ups.

I do, not as tachnological as you but i check it every tank fill up.. I do an average of 200 miles per fill up, so when i get to 200 i start woring.

Driving like a grandma will get me 300 easily.

270-280 is on a regular basis.

Do you usually fill up in the day or during the evening?

Liquids (including gas) are more dense in colder temperatures, such as the evening low. It takes up less volume, allowing you to fill up more.

Now wether or not it is negligible, I have no clue.

I usually get around 240-260 daily driving.

My gas light comes on at 2 bars but Ive pushed it about 20 miles (highway) on 0 bars and it still only filled up 12.x gallons
