Yes I do park nose up on a slope. I never thought of that; I always assumed it was temperature related. For example, I could come home in the winter with a tank showing 1/3rd full and then on the way to work next morning I'd have "no bars" and a low-fuel warning light on. Then at lunchtime I'd be up to quarter full and if I went out and really warmed the engine up, I'd be back to my 1/3rd full again. Hence my setting the B trip meter

i always do the trip meter - but I get a big variation in the fuel consumption depending on driving. I find the fuel gauge accurate at Full and half full - the rest is a bit of a guess.
somebody told me the other day that UK and JDM models have different fuel nozzles - i.e. in UK you can only put unleaded in. I was within an ace of putting a tank of diesel in mine the other week - I wonder what VTEC with diesel would sound like

as far as I'm concerned the fuel gauge is so bloody unreliable that they could have put a clock where the fuel gauge is
