Ok, now you're just trolling us. You really can't be serious.

 

No. I'm B serious.

I've been trolling this since post 1.

 

I think he's just updating us or something.

If you're at a half tank, OP....fill up. Check the math.

Your "bar usage" looks fairly normal. Its not like the tank gauge is calibrated by NASA.

 

My gauge doesn't drop for like 80 miles, then looses a bunch of bars, then sits steady again, etc.

But my brain allows me to realize that fuel gauges on used sports cars are not calibrated as frequently as gages at well regarded machine shops.

 

That mirrors my experience that the light comes on with between 1 and 1.5 gallons remaining.

FYI, don't assume the tank really holds 13.2 gallons. Turns out mine holds about a gallon less.

 

Just updating but should I actually fill up now or wait for it to drop down to 1-3 bars?

 

Fill it up near quarter tank. Then divide miles driven since last fill up by number of gallons put in tank. Jesus man Google how to calculate fuel economy.

 

 

Ignore the bars, fill the car and do the math.
Also, drop out of school, learn on your own, and forget the student loans.

 

I have a useless liberal arts degree.

Yet I still have the common sense to have actual numbers when asking about bad MPG.

Until you tell us the fuel economy you're getting, none of this matters. Your driving style, the roads you drive, the weather all play into this as well. It is winter, you're likely getting crap winter mix gas, which is worse for economy. If its cold, your tire's pressures may be down, etc.

Your CS major may result in a nice piece of paper but you can't buy critical thinking skills.
