My gauge never goes above F, and the furthest I've ever pushed it
brought the needle below E, somewhere a little over 250 miles, was to
just 18 gallons below full. Never even got 19 into that tank.

The dealer told me when I purchased my 96 country new in 96 to "never let
the gage get close to empty as the gages are very un-predictable". I know
that this model has a low fuel warning light but I have never seen it lit
and have 110 k on it now. I always fill up before it gets much lower than
1/2 tank per the gage. RM~

Now that I have a low fuel light when it comes on I figure it's time to
get gas in a day or so <G>
